The Americas Society promotes the understanding of the political, economic,
and cultural issues that define and challenge the Americas today, from
the Arctic Circle to the Southernmost tip of Argentina.

The Americas Society re-established the Music Department in January of
2001 and appointed Conductor/Flutist Maria Elena Tobon as its Director.
The new Music Department promotes works by composers from Latin America,
the Caribbean, United States and Canada, and also represents these
region's diverse musical traditions.

This event is made possible with the generous support of the Citigroup
Foundation, JPMorganChase, Credit Suisse/First Boston and Americas Society
members.
