The KU Latin American Art Music Festival celebrates the rich and diverse musical traditions of Latin America, reflecting the vibrant cultures and histories of Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. While Latin American popular music has achieved global acclaim, its art music which is equally dynamic and expressive, remains underrepresented and less widely known. This festival, presented by the KU School of Music, endeavors to broaden scholarly and public engagement of the exceptional creativity of Latin American composers and share their work with a broader audience.
