Special projects
- The Festival of the Sierra Tarahumara is the first project in which donors can participate! We held the first edition for only a local and livestream audience in 2021. The festival supports the humanitarian work of American pianist Romayne Wheeler, who for four decades has devoted the proceeds of his piano career to the health, education, and food security of the Rarámuri people of northern Mexico.
- Our first virtual project, Connecting Cultures through Counterpoint, is designed to create value both during and after the 2020 coronavirus pandemic by linking musicians and communities around the world through innovative online projects.
- More information about 2016’s “What is American culture?” project, our first large-scale domestic endeavor, is available at the US page.
- We celebrated our 10th anniversary in 2015 with a 6-country endeavor called the Passacaglia Project.

The setting sun bathes mesas and mountains—stretching into the distance, a physical representation of the infinite and the sublime—painting a beguiling array of greens and blues that elevates your consciousness and calms your innermost soul. You sip a fine Mexican wine and listen to world-class classical musicians—graduates of Juilliard, the Mozarteum, and similar institutions—play Beethoven.
