In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, join us for a vibrant, music-rich conversation hosted by Lia Uribe, bassoonist, educator, and host of Sound Perimeter on KUAF 91.3.Designed for all audiences (no musical background needed) this event will be a conversation in the spirit of Sound Perimeter, expanding our musical boundaries and deepening our connection to Latin-American sounds as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. The program will highlight the impact of Latin American composers on the world stage, from Astor Piazzolla, whose genre-defying tango opened doors for global recognition, to the innovative voices of Miguel del Águila, Gabriela Ortiz, and Angélica Negrón, among others.
