Latin American Center for Graduate Studies in Music

The Latin American Center for Graduate Studies in Music was founded in 1984. The center promotes the study, research and performance of Ibero-American music. It fosters the exchange of students, scholars, performers, composers, musicologists and music educators between Ibero-American countries, North America and the Caribbean region. The center houses a specialized library of scores, books and recordings of Ibero-American music. Through this center, musicians from the Americas come together with the essence of their own cultures to investigate, exchange, develop, perfect and promulgate their musical knowledge and gifts toward better understanding through mutual respect of the peoples and arts of our hemisphere.

The Latin American Center for Graduate Studies in Music has developed a visiting professorship program by accepting scholars and professors from the Americas and Spain to research and offer lectures and performances.

The departments of music offer master's and doctoral degree programs with concentration in the music of Latin America, with each program requiring courses, performance and research in Latin American music. For each degree program that follows, the difference between the regular curriculum and the curriculum for students concentrating in Latin American music is summarized.
