An ongoing commitment to bringing Mexican repertoire to the international stage, providing opportunities for Mexican composers, and combating institutionalized racism in educational and professional performing ensembles.
The Mexican Repertoire Initiative will increase exposure and representation of Mexican composers by commissioning and facilitating the creation of new works, releasing albums of Mexican repertoire with Urtext Digital Classics, and advocating for the inclusion of Mexican works on Prescribed Music Lists.
The Mexican Repertoire Collection is an open source, searchable, sortable database of authentic Mexican repertoire with audio recordings, downloadable scores, and contact information for composers.
The Mexican Composer Incubation Coalition is a coalition of US wind bands partnered with Mexican composer Enrico Chapela and two schools of composition in Mexico City. During a year-long course offered by the composition schools, composers from Mexico and other Latin American countries will learn how to write for US-style wind bands. Coalition partners will read the works, provide reference recordings, and submit Spanish language feedback with suggested edits.
