Sponsored by the Latin American Music Center at the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music, Drama, and Art, at The Catholic University of America - the seven-day festival is presented under the artistic direction of its Founder, Pianist Nancy Roldán, who met the composer, wrote about his work, and has dedicated her professional life to the diffusion of his music.

The festival was inspired by the creation of SONUS, a collective of international artists dedicated to the diffusion of Carlos Gustavino’s music and to the endorsement and presentations of creative endeavors rooted in the universal spirit of folk traditions, including music by Latin American and American composers. We created this festival with the goal of expanding awareness to the US and a larger world audience of this important composer’s music and legacy.
