Amauta will present traditional music of the Andes during a concert presented by the college’s Cultural Affairs Program from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14, in the Bulmer Telecommunications Center Auditorium. The event is open free to all.
Amauta travels from the lower Hudson Valley to bring its beautiful music to HVCC. Andean music styles originated in the Pre-Columbian mountain regions of South America inhabited by Quechuas, Aymaras and other tribes. It includes folk music from Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. The masterful musicians in Amauta, a title reserved for teachers in the Inca empire, are dedicated to keeping this ancient music alive with performances that showcase their incredible talent playing an array of hand-crafted instruments, including panpipes, quenas flutes, stringed instruments and drums.
The McKrells, perennial favorites in the Capital Region and beyond, return to HVCC on Thursday, Nov. 21, with a rousing and heart-warming concert of Celtic-infused bluegrass music from noon to 1 p.m. in the BTC Auditorium.
