Vision and Mission

Our Vision

To be the UK’s foremost collective of musicians, musicologists and music-lovers with a passion for Iberian and Latin American art music, and a hub for the creative exchange of ideas and resources. Our manifesto is to provide a platform for 'serious' Luso-Hispanic music in order to challenge established perceptions surrounding cultural identities.

Our Mission

Our overarching aim is to challenge, educate, inspire and entertain London’s variegated audiences with a regular diary of concerts, master classes and lectures.

Our Mission Goals

To promote the rich classical repertoire of Iberia and Latin America on the UK concert scene, which is too often occluded from mainstream programming
To dislocate misconceptions and prejudices which support the secondary positioning of Iberian and Latin American repertoire in relation to canonical repertoire
To create performance opportunities for both rising young artistic talent and established Iberian and Latin American classical musicians
To challenge the typical ‘Northern’ monolithic view of Luso-Hispanic music by offering audiences the chance to hear authentic performances and diverse programmes which reflect its multifaceted heritage
To commission and premiere new Luso-Hispanic music to showcase its contemporary composers
To educate audiences through the contextualization of Iberian and Latin American music with lectures, lecture-recitals, master classes, and themed festivals through collaboration with eminent specialists in the field

Our values

Innovation – introducing the revolutionary spirit of Latin American Music into the classical music of the 21st century
Integrity – we aim to place artistic values consistently at the top of the cultural agenda with sincerity and commitment
Excellence – valuing through differentiation and quality, elevating a subjugated art form to its rightful platform
Diversity and Integration – by believing in the importance of cultural diversity and the power of music to bring beliefs, art forms and people of all ages and origins together
