Aimed at musicians between 18 and 25 years of age from all over Latin America, the academy combines high-level musical training, comprehensive professional development, personalized mentoring, and significant performance experiences.

Exceptional Training

Overview

The Latin American Academy of Advanced Music was established as a strategic alliance between Fundación Teatro del Lago and the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía, with the aim of becoming a regional benchmark for artistic excellence, cultural integration, and professional projection for young Latin American musicians.

Aimed at musicians between 18 and 25 years of age from all over Latin America, the academy combines high-level musical training, comprehensive professional development, personalized mentoring, and significant performance experiences. Inspired by the success of the Latin American Orchestra Academy, this new proposal focuses on chamber music as a space for collaborative learning, personalized attention, artistic leadership, and international projection.
