Mexican music and culture is
taking front stage on Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 8:00 p.m. at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston's Back Bay.
Entitled Reimagine Mexico: A Musical
Celebration, the 90 minute program features Berklee students
performing original songs written or arranged by Mexican students, with a
special performance by Berklee alumnus Alexander Acha, winner of the Latin
Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
The concert is a joint
collaboration of Berklee College of Music and the Consulate General of Mexico. Admission is free.
The concert is part
of Berklee’s global initiatives, which include
opportunities for students to experience Latin American culture. At Berklee,
students can minor in performance studies in Latin music and pursue focused studies in Latin music. Artists can also participate in Berklee Latino, the college’s Spanish-language program, in
Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
The Consulate
General of Mexico’s Cultural Program aims to foster a deeper knowledge of
cultural diversity in New England through literature, poetry, cinema, theater,
music, visual arts, and gastronomy.
