Join Artists & Musicians of Latin America (AMLA) for our annual Summer Showcase, an evening celebrating the creativity, growth, and accomplishments of our students and teaching artists. This special performance highlights the work developed during AMLA’s Summer Music Institute and offers the community an opportunity to experience the power of music education, cultural expression, and artistic collaboration.

This year’s showcase will feature performances by participants in the Latin Percussion Intensive and original works created by students in our Anti-Violence Songwriting & Production Program. Throughout the summer, these young artists and adult learners have explored music as a tool for personal expression, community building, cultural preservation, and positive social change.

At AMLA, we believe that access to high-quality arts education helps strengthen communities and empowers individuals to find their voice. The Summer Showcase reflects our commitment to creating opportunities for students of all ages to learn, perform, and share their stories through music.

Whether you are a family member, supporter of the arts, educator, community partner, or first-time visitor, we invite you to join us for an inspiring evening of live music and student achievement.
