This month on the Metropolitan Culture Corner, we go behind the scenes with soprano and musicologist Dr. Patricia Caicedo, whose academic and creative work centers on Latin American and Iberian art song. She regularly gives lectures and master classes at music conferences and universities around the world, has released 11 albums, and has published multiple books as well as scholarly editions of scores. She is the founder of the Barcelona Festival of Song, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this month.
Patricia is also the creator of Mundo Arts: a music publishing house, independent record label and online store which supports various projects in Spain, Latin America and the US. But her mission to get the word out about the music she’s passionate about doesn’t stop there: she hosts a podcast, Latin American and Iberian Art Song, in which she interviews composers, musicologists and other international experts, and she is the creator of EYECatalunya, an interdisciplinary platform dedicated to promoting Catalan artists internationally.
