Argentina-Music and Culture in Latin America
This program is designed to give musicians and non-musicians an introduction to the music and culture of Latin America. Buenos Aires is one of the largest Latin American cities, with a vibrant cultural life. The music scene is particularly lively in the city, with the best tango shows anywhere, really active rock and roll (in Spanish), folk and tropical movements, and some fo the best Opera performances in the world at the renowned Teotro Colon. Students will experience the music directly, interact with performers and composers, developing relationships and exchanging views and perspectives, not exclusively about music but rather about the culture at large.
