The 'Musica Ardiente' Festival was inspired by the concept and programs of conductor and curator Miguel-Harth- Bedoya’s Caminos del Inka Project. The project was created to rediscover, preserve, and disseminate the musical legacy of South America. It is an effort to unearth the forgotten musical gems of the most advanced and complex native civilization in South America, the Inca Empire, and commission new music from these countries by bringing new repertoire and sounds to the concert hall.
The creation of 'Musica Ardiente' comes with thanks to valuable partnerships with musicians, composers, organizations, and cultural institutions that the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra has worked closely with to add shape, community relevance, and artistic excellence to the 'Musica Ardiente' Festival. -- www.atlantasymphony.org
