Programme Note

In tandem with the London Song Festival - this year entirely dedicated to showcasing women composers - ILAMS continues to explore art song repertoire penned by female Latin American authors as part of our ongoing strand of events, Música y mujer.

The programme encompasses pieces ranging in date from the 19th to 21st centuries, by composers from Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil and Cuba, including all-time favourites such as Besame Mucho, Júrame, and Hasta la vista to more rarely-heard gems of Song.

Covering subjects as diverse as food and drink, love and passion, temptation, life and death, the music will also be interpreted by dancers, bringing a taste of the vitality, joy and passion of Latin America to an autumnal London evening.

This event is organised by the Iberian & Latin American Music Society (ILAMS) as part of Echoes Festival 2025's 'Música y Mujer' series in collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes and the London Song Festival
