B2wins: Home Together for the Holidays December 25 @ 7:30 PM Online University of Dubuque Heritage Center has partnered with B2wins to bring Home Together for the Holidays to audiences at the push of a button. Brazilian twin brothers Walter and Wagner Caldas will gather around a piano to share holiday favorites in the style one expects from the powerhouse group B2wins. With their distinctive appearance and signature sound, B2wins have become a favorite with Heritage Center audiences after several live performances on campus over the past few years. The group features an electric violin and ukulele with vocals. B2wins play a variety of genres, integrating humor and lively audience participation. The twins, who grew up in the violent slums of Brazil, broke the mold of society by using music as a movement to bring about positive change. They defeated violence, poverty, depression, and cancer. Now they are on a mission to make the world smile again. B2wins believe music is what can bring people together in the toughest times. A portion of each ticket purchased will benefit Heritage Center. All ticketed patrons will be able to access the livestream date purchased on demand through Thursday, Dec. 31. $10. bit.ly/b2winsholiday. 26th Annual Reflections in the Park December 26–January 3, 2021 @ 5–10 PM Louis Murphy Park Join Hillcrest Family Services for the 26th annual Reflections in the Park, a Hillcrest Lights Festival!
