Mission
The Afro-Latinx Song & Opera Project is dedicated to preserving, amplifying, and celebrating the rich and diverse musical heritage of the Afro-Latinx community. Through education, performance, and advocacy, we aim to challenge historical erasure and elevate the voices, stories, and artistry of Afro-Latinx composers, performers, and cultural contributors within the operatic and classical music landscapes.
Values
Cultural Authenticity: We honor and center the lived experiences, traditions, and legacies of Afro-Latinx communities.
Equity and Justice: We are committed to dismantling systemic barriers and creating opportunities for marginalized voices in the classical music industry.
Artistic Excellence: We pursue the highest standards of creativity, performance, and scholarship while uplifting the diversity of Afro-Latinx artistic expression.
Education and Advocacy: We strive to educate the public and advocate for the representation of Afro-Latinx composers, artists, and scholars in all aspects of the arts.
Community Empowerment: We believe in the power of the arts to uplift, inspire, and empower Afro-Latinx communities and those committed to social justice.
Vision
We envision a world where the contributions of Afro-Latinx artists are fully recognized, valued, and celebrated in all spaces of classical music and opera. The Afro-Latinx Song & Opera Project seeks to be a transformative force in the arts, fostering inclusivity, equity, and cultural representation that inspires future generations of musicians and audiences alike.
