Blending South American folk worlds together, the Alturas Duo has performed internationally to great acclaim. The Alturas Duo with flutist Gonzalo Cortés will give a performance and interactive presentation of South American music that explains how African, European, and Native cultures mixed to create Latin American folkloric music as known today. The group will premiere the female Latin American composer Karina Contreras Galindo's work in celebration of Women’s History Month. Additionally, in an interactive educational workshop for students ages 5-12, the students incorporate other art mediums to deepen their understanding and create work inspired by South American folk art.
