The University of Texas at El Paso has been approved for a $28,000 Grants for Arts Projects award from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to support the Early Music Latin America Festival. This project includes a concert and free workshop to promote music from the 16-18th centuries from Latin American countries. The University of Texas at El Paso’s project is among 1,130 projects across the country, totaling more than $31 million, that were selected during this second round of Grants for Arts Projects fiscal year 2023 funding.

Recent musicological research has shown that this repertoire contains diverse influences of critical importance to cultural and music-historical narratives. Compared to Renaissance and Baroque European repertoire, early Latin American music has been rarely recorded, performed, or taught. Led by Project Director, Lindsey Macchiarella, the University of Texas at El Paso seeks to strengthen the performance and dissemination of this repertoire in the borderlands and beyond, transforming prevailing music-historical narratives of early classical music and establishing UTEP as a center for early Latin American music.
