Emilio will be giving a lecture on Mexican classical guitar repertoire and playing in the faculty recital on November 8th 🇲🇽

Purchase your day or weekend pass to see him and more exciting workshops and concerts in less than two weeks 🙌 Link in bio!

​“Alongside Mexico’s revolution at the beginning of the 20th century, the guitar, music, and Mexican society underwent a significant shift. As the government was rebuilt, Mexico sought to create a unique cultural identity to distinguish itself from its colonial past. This lecture examines the figures, repertoire, and changes to the guitar during this period that would ultimately act as a foundation for composers and works of the modern Mexican guitar.”
