Fort Worth, TX

For the first time since its inception in 1998, the TCU Latin American Music Festival will be held during the fall rather than in spring. This transition was prompted by the Festival’s obvious connection to the city of Fort Worth’s longstanding annual celebration of Hispanic culture. Dates for this year’s event are Oct. 11-13.

Germán Gutiérrez, director of orchestral studies at TCU and LAMF founder, has kept the uniqueness of the TCU Latin American Music Festival by focusing primarily on the Latino classical music genre without excluding the typical music and rhythms associated with Latin America. The TCU Symphony Orchestra and chamber groups will perform works from some of the most noted composers of Latin America, including the Argentinean Astor Piazzola, the Brazilian Marlos Nobre and Mexican composers Ponce and Revueltas.

Admission is $8 per concert or $25 for a four-concert Festival pass, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting victims of the recent earthquake in Peru. Scheduled performances:
