Alma Latina — “Latin Soul” — is more than a concert; it is a celebration of Latin America’s beautiful and diverse musical cultures. This spellbinding journey takes audiences from the streets of Buenos Aires to the beaches of Brazil and everywhere in between, spanning a continent alive with song.

Australian guitarist Andrew Blanch is among the finest of his generation. Praised as “the rockstar of nylon-acoustic music” (On Sounds), “dazzling” (ArtsHub), and “brilliant” (Limelight Magazine), he has won more than 10 international music prizes and was a finalist for Performance of the Year at the 2022 Australian Art Music Awards.

María Eugenia Nieva is a renowned Argentine mezzo-soprano known for her warm, pure voice and passionate interpretations. Described as a "gorgeous mezzo-soprano from Argentina on a mission to bring the music of her homeland to the world,” she has performed internationally with orchestras, string quartets, and as a duo partner with Blanch.

The concert experience is beautifully structured in two parts: the evening begins with a virtuosic solo guitar program by Andrew, exploring the instrumental masterpieces of the continent. In the second half, the stage transforms as María joins Andrew for a passionate duo showcase. Together, their chemistry is undeniable. As your guides, Blanch and Nieva invite you to feel the true soul of Latin America—its warmth, its rhythm, and its heart.
