The masterclass offers a performative and pedagogical exploration of contemporary Mexican piano music. It focuses on the works of four important composers of the 20th and 21st centuries: Conlon Nancarrow, Diana Syrse, Mario Lavista, and Alicia Urreta. Each of these figures represents a distinct aesthetic—ranging from metaphysical resonance and literary depth to polyrhythmic
experimentation and theatricality. Through a combination of lecture performances, score analysis, listening, open discussion, and interpretative exercises, students will gain tools to understand and interpret unconventional forms of notation, gesture, and musical philosophy.
