Darío Schvarzstein

For ten years, from December 1961 to November 1971, Buenos Aires was a place where contemporary Latin American music changed forever. Young composers from all over the Americas came to Buenos Aires on scholarships to work for two years in a laboratory: the Latin American Center for Advanced Musical Studies at the Di Tella Institute. Half a century later, they returned to Buenos Aires, with some unfinished business.

In this documentary, Andrés Di Tella and Dario Schvarsztein discussed sensitively and accurately the motivations and creative processes of three Mexican contemporary artists of great global impact: Pedro Reyes, Carlos Amorales and Minerva Cuevas.
