Adrian Kostic

When you come to TLAFF as an artist, director, clinician or audience member, you come to understand that the depth of collaboration and creativity that occurs i this festival is truly remarkable. My goal is to convey that essence through elevated design and communications.
Dianne Aitken
Latin American Contemporary Music Coordinator
Composers have been active in Latin America from colonial times to the present. Yet, their stories remain untold.
Latin American contemporary classical music has developed through many different means, incorporating indigenous and European trends together into a new music aesthetic. I encourage you as an audience, and as performers, to explore this less familiar world. Today I am pleased to curate these works in TLAFF. Enjoy!
