About Nuestros Sonidos

Carnegie Hall’s 2024–2025 season is enlivened by Nuestros sonidos (Our Sounds)—a joyous, ongoing celebration of the vibrant sounds, pioneering rhythms, endlessly diverse traditions, and enormous influence of Latin culture in the United States, including vital contributions from the Caribbean.

Concerts at the Hall feature musical styles that range from salsa, bachata, and Latin jazz to reggaeton, hip-hop, música mexicana, classical, and so much more, highlighting the game-changing contributions and constant evolution of Latin music from the 1930s to today, with a special focus on genres that have developed and thrived in the US. Our celebration also includes public events hosted by cultural institutions in New York City and beyond.

Event Details

Joel Sachs, a Juilliard emeritus professor and legendary new-music maestro, brings a program that includes the world premiere of a sonata by Roberto Sierra written for Sachs, a work inspired by flamenco from the late Venezuelan composer Paul Desenne, a a now-classic piece by Tania León based on the music of her youth in Cuba, and the premiere of a new piece composed for Sachs by Mexican singer/composer Diana Syrse.
