Mission

LAMFest is dedicated to celebrating and preserving Latin American classical, indigenous, and folk music, including works by Latin American composers and those inspired by the region. Our mission is to provide high-quality music and arts education to underserved and marginalized communities in Boston, using music as a tool for educational enrichment, cultural exchange, and empowerment. Through competitions, masterclasses, performances, and our Latin American Music & Arts Center, we aim to elevate lives with Ivy League-level education, fostering a sense of belonging, cultural pride, and deep appreciation for the profound significance of these musical traditions. By uniting professional educators, musicians, and emerging artists, we create a safe and nurturing environment where families can thrive, experience transformative artistic growth, and connect to the rich cultural heritage of Latin America.
