Music of the Americas 2021 Fall Concerts
Music of the Americas 2021 Fall Concerts
Join Americas Society for a hybrid Fall 2021 season, including the groundbreaking project Jeporeká.
The 2021–2022 season of the MetLife Foundation Music of the Americas Concert Series starts live in New York City on October 1.
The season will be hybrid, with live concerts presented in our venue in New York and productions prepared specifically to be shared online. Video versions of the live concerts will be released a week after each show and will remain online for later viewing.
The Fall 2021 schedule features three live concerts by Gustavo Casenave, Yarn/Wire, and Magos Herrera, as well as two weeks dedicated to Jeporeká, the groundbreaking project created by our friend, guitarist Berta Rojas, recorded in Paraguay.
Dates for the spring will be announced later this year, but the concerts will include the U.S. premieres of the Guaraní opera Ñomongetá and the Afro-Cuban opera Manita en el suelo, Canadian baritone Jonathon Adams in a program of music by Ignatz Bieber, the St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble's Five-Borough Tour, Brazilian singer Luedji Luna, Americas Society's vocal ensemble Meridionalis in a program of baroque Mexican music, vocal ensemble Ekmeles, guitar music with Colombian Trio Fabián Forero, and the return of Uruguayan master guitarist Eduardo Fernández to our stage after 45 years.
