Winner of six Latin Grammys and one Grammy, Lila Downs has one of the most powerful and unique voices of our time. With her symbolic stage presence and emotionally charged storytelling, her singing transcends all language barriers. Lila’s music embraces influences from the folkloric and ranchera music of Mexico to the music of the southern United States, crossing barriers and generating sounds that go from folk, jazz, folkloric blues, Indigena, and ranchera to hip hop.

Additionally, the world premiere of Shuying Li’s concerto grosso Coping Cadences ignites the imagination while merging traditional and contemporary elements.
