“Entretanto: Reflections on musical creation” with Javier Alvárez, composer, lecture series (in Spanish) coordinated by Genoveva de la Peña

“Javier Álvarez is perhaps the most interesting Mexican musician born in the fifties. An alert musical intelligence, reinforced by the mastery of a plurality of techniques and an eclectic perspective, has resulted in a multifaceted and vigorous work that presents a very original evolution.” — Yolanda Moreno Rivas – (Composition in Mexico in the 20th Century, CONACULTA, Mexico City 1994)

With four decades of uninterrupted professional practice, Javier Álvarez now enjoys wide national and international recognition, receiving numerous commissions and premieres in the most important festivals  in the world. Its extensive catalog is performed by the most distinguished soloists, groups and orchestras of Mexico and abroad, in interpretations that are frequently transmitted and heard on the internet, radio and international television.
