The project
For one week, four professors and two students from the Jazz Department at Florida International University (FIU) visited Guatemala and gave three free public concerts in Antigua Guatemala, Quetzaltenango and Guatemala City. Visits and masterclasses were also held at the Municipality of Guatemala, Universidad Da Vinci, Universidad del Valle and the National Conservatory of Music.
Why it matters
Academic exchanges let Guatemalan students take classes with university professors without leaving the country, and help local institutions build relationships that open the way to scholarships and further study. Free, open concerts also bring this music to audiences who do not usually have access to it.
