Founded and led by Mexican Mezzo-Soprano and Artistic Director Guadalupe Peraza, Mexamorphosis is a celebration of musical diversity from different centuries and cultures. Since its first season in 2016, Mexamorphosis has presented cross-cultural programs that question the boundaries drawn between “folk music” and “classical music”, street and concert hall, old world and new world, showcasing connections between contemporary regional Mexican styles and European early music, drawing out influences from Iberia and West Africa. Mexamorphosis is a unique project that incorporates traditional musical styles and diverse instrumentation from various cultures. It encompasses elements such as improvisation, re-interpretation of old works, original arrangements and compositions. Additionally, whenever possible, dance and visual arts are also integrated, creating a multi-disciplinary experience.
