Septiembre Musical

The Septiembre Musical is an annual international arts event held in Argentina's Tucumán province. It has been organized by the province government since 1960 and is considered one of the most important meetings of its kind in the country (because to its longevity and high quality).

Since its inception, the festival has become a cherished social and cultural event, with artists such as Ravi Shankar, the Duke Ellington Quartet Tokyo, the virtuoso Russian violinist Boris Belkin, the Camerata Bariloche, stor Piazzolla, Mercedes Sosa, and others performing in successive editions.

The Septiembre Musical, which was inspired by the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, was originally dedicated to academic symphonic music, chamber music, and choral music, but over time expanded to include disciplines such as ballet, opera, jazz, and popular genres such as folklore, tango, rock, and pop.

The festival was founded in a province with a rich cultural legacy, as evidenced by the formation of the Academy of Fine Arts in 1911, a country first, and the Orchestra of National University of Tucumán in 1948. (UNT).

The Provincial Council of Cultural Difusión (Consejo Provincial de Difusión Cultural) and the National University of Tucumán (Universidad Nacional de Tucumán) collaborated on the first festival, which received strong support from the independent press through the newspaper La Gaceta.
