Description

A Conversation with SPHINX

Raíces en Diálogo brings together the Anna H. Wang Concert Series, Sphinx, and the Mexican Cultural Institute in a celebration of artistic exchange, cultural connection, and the power of live music.

Through a diverse selection of works, this recital explores the rich musical traditions of the Americas and the ways in which music creates bridges across communities, histories, and borders.

About the Program

The program brings together music shaped by the sounds, rhythms, and expressive traditions of Latin America and the wider Americas. From the Brazilian character of Noites Cariocas to the lyrical voice of Florence Price, the Mexican song tradition of Manuel Ponce, the tango of La Cumparsita, and José White's Cuban-inflected La Bella Cubana, the repertoire invites listeners to experience the many ways musical identity can be expressed through the string quartet.

Live introuctions

The musicians of the Sphinx String Quartet will introduce the works through the presentation. No separate program notes will be provided; these live introductions will offer context and guide the audience through the musical journey.

With Gratitude

Thank you for joining us and for supporting collaborative artistic experiences that celebrate cultural exchange, representation, and access to live music.

MISSION

The Mexican Cultural Institute of Washington, D.C. is committed to enriching the relationship between Mexico and the United States by sharing Mexico’s vibrant cultural past and present with the local community. Since its establishment in 1990, the Institute has succeeded in presenting diverse, ongoing cultural programs and has become a thriving artistic center in the heart of Washington. Over the past three decades, the Institute has developed cultural programming in partnership with many institutions in the nation’s capital, including the Smithsonian Institution, the National Gallery of Art, and the Library of Congress.

A new phase at the Institute features the following focal points for development:

Mexico as a plural, diverse, and creative culture
Artistic dialogue between Mexico and the United States
Education for the arts

The Mexican Cultural Institute is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that relies on private, corporate, and foundation support to fulfill its mission.

OUTREACH

We have extended invitations to students from around the Washington Metropolitan area through a restructured Outreach program. We welcome our younger audiences to the Institute to learn about the vibrancy of Mexican Culture and develop a deeper cultural awareness. Guided Tours are available, free of charge.
