Gabriel’s House, named in memory of 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez, is located at 38553 4th Street East in Palmdale.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Working with local partners, \u201cGabriel\u2019s House\u201d serves as a free music and performing arts center to provide children in the area with the opportunity to develop their creative talents. Gabriel\u2019s House provides guitar, drum, hip-hop dance, folklorico dance, photography, filmmaking and pencil art. These classes and the necessary instruments, dance shoes or art supplies are provided free to children between the ages of 5 and 18. Programs are geared to families who do not have the means to provide this kind of enrichment. Twice a year (spring and fall) Gabriel\u2019s House has a recital so the children can show off their talents and progress. At this time, all the classes are full and waiting lists have formed for the next sessions. Gabriel\u2019s House is constantly recruiting volunteers who can provide more classes.<\/p>\n
