Sounds of Mexico is a musical ensemble and exchange program created as a platform for collaboration between musicians from Mexico and those from other countries. This mostly occurs through the programming of concerts in various countries in which Mexican musicians collaborate with those of the host country. The projects and programs differ from country to country and the repertoire of pieces played varied widely, with many from modern composers. The goal is to create long term cultural relationships with various countries and to develop the Mexican musicians. The traditional music of Mexico is promoted as well.
