Hispanic Heritage Month, observed September 15 to October 15, honors the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latin American communities.
In recognition of this celebration, piano faculty member Victor Galindo organizes an annual recital with fellow piano faculty members. Evan Meier, Chair of Music Theory and Composition, spoke with Victor about his passion for Latin American and Spanish music, the folk traditions that shaped these works, and the voices of composers like Granados, Cervantes, Ponce, and Carreño. They also reflect on how pianists bring this repertoire to life and the broader cultural influences woven into the music. Watch their conversation in the video below.
