Get ready for an inspiring conversation with the renowned Peruvian tenor, Juan Diego Flórez, as we delve into the heart of his extraordinary organization, Sinfonía por el Perú. This event, taking place on February 2, 2026, from 7-8 pm ET at the Americas Society in New York, promises to be an eye-opening experience.
A Musical Journey to Transform Lives
Sinfonía por el Perú is more than just a music education program; it's a beacon of hope and a catalyst for positive change. Founded by Flórez over a decade ago, this social initiative has touched the lives of over 35,000 children and young adults facing challenging circumstances. Through the power of music, these individuals find a safe haven, a place where they can thrive emotionally, develop essential life skills, and envision a brighter future.
But here's where it gets truly remarkable: Sinfonía por el Perú goes beyond traditional music education. It's about empowering youth to believe in themselves and their dreams, and providing them with the tools to build sustainable, fulfilling lives.
An Evening of Insight and Inspiration
Join us for an insightful conversation between Flórez and Sebastián Zubieta, Director of Music of the Americas. They will delve into the impact and vision of Sinfonía por el Perú, sharing stories of transformation and the power of music as a force for good.
Following the discussion, there will be a networking reception for members of the Americas Society and Young Professionals of the Americas, as well as special guests. This is a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals passionate about the arts and social impact.
Please note that while Flórez won't be performing at this event, you can catch his recital at Carnegie Hall on February 5 as part of their Great Singers I series.
RSVPs for members of the Americas Society and YPA are now open, with early and reserved seating. For non-members, join today to secure your spot! Public RSVP will open at a later date, and any questions can be directed to music@as-coa.org.
This event promises to be a thought-provoking and inspiring evening, shedding light on the transformative power of music and the potential within each of us to make a difference.
We hope to see you there, and don't forget to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments! Is there a similar initiative in your community? How do you think music can shape lives and create positive change?
