engaging with people in the United States about the societies and cultures
of their Western Hemisphere neighbors.  In January of 2001 the Society
created the Music Department and appointed Conductor/Flutist MariaElena
Tobon as its Director.  The New Music Department seeks to increase
awareness and promote the performances of works by composers from Latin
America, the Caribbean and Canada, and to represent these region's
culturally diverse musical traditions.  Visit us at:
