The Americas Society promotes understanding of the political, economic,
and cultural issues that define and challenge the Americas today.

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.

These concerts are made possible by The Citigroup Foundation and
Americas Society Members. Additional funding is provided by the Latin
American Video Archives and Kellogg's. Special thanks to the Center for
Jewish History.
