The Festival de Música de Cámara de San Miguel de Allende, one of the most renowned in Mexico and Latin America, was founded in 1979 by a group of Mexicans and foreign residents with the idea of establishing a chamber music festival – based on the internationally famous festivals of Spoleto, Edinburgh and Marlboro – in their own city

The Festival’s essential “raison d’etre” is educational, and thus every year we have offered young, advanced-level students from all over Mexico the opportunity to attend and participate in workshops and master classes, which take place during the two weeks of concerts. These workshops and classes are given by the quartet-in-residence that participates annually in the Festival, as well as the performing groups. To date, more than 1,000 students have participated in our Student Program. In 2007, 183 hours of classes were given and quartet-in-residence, La Catrina String Quartet, received unanimously positive evaluations from the students. We are bringing La Catrina back to San Miguel de Allende for our 2008 season. During thirty years of effort, hard work and dedication - all for the love of music - we have enjoyed world-class artists from three continents. What was only a dream in 1979, has been made reality by the Festival de Música de Cámara – it is now firmly established and is known as unique in its genre in Mexico, as well as important on an international level, and draws more than 7,000 attendees every year.
