The 13th Chicago Latino Music Festival, Chicago’s only Latino-focused classical music festival and one of few in the U.S., proudly announces its complete performance schedule from October 17-November 18, 2018, at multiple venues throughout Chicago. This annual festival showcases an expansive range of classical music and celebrates Spanish and Latin American composers from the colonial period to today, with works often inspired by their Afro-Cuban, tango, flamenco and other far-reaching roots originating from the Caribbean and Mexico all the way to the Río de la Plata. In addition to presenting a roster of international soloists, such as Mexican composer Javier Álvarez, Uruguayan guitarist Eduardo Fernández and Peruvian guitarist Luis Rafael Vivanco, the Chicago Latino Music Festival features Chicago’s own budding musicians Andrea Salcedo and Iván Reséndiz, as well as Chicagoans Fareed Haque, Goran Ivanovic; and leading ensembles KAIA String Quartet, WFMT artist-in-residence; Fulcrum Point New Music Project, Chicago’s leader in new art music. The Chicago Latino Music Festival is a program of the International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago (ILCC), co-produced by Artistic Directors and composers Gustavo Leone (Argentinian-born) and Elbio Barilari (Uruguay-born).
