Pan American Musical Art Research (PAMAR), founded and directed by Polly Ferman (and this year celebrating its 30th Anniversary!) has announced the 8th annual Latin American Cultural Week, a sumptuous list of events showing the rich culture of Latin America, with music, dance and theater performances, films, visual arts, and auctions, today, November 15-24 all around town, including Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and the Apollo Theater in NYC, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Queens Theater, with a couple of trips to the Ritz Theater in Elizabeth NJ and Symphony Hall in Newark NJ.

As it looks to its 30th Anniversary next year, PAMAR continues to expand LACW with an increased number of exciting events on the schedule, a celebration of tango music and dance, and many events in the Washington Heights section of NYC. PAMAR is also appreciative of the donation of performance space by the Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center and Teatro La Tea, both located in downtown Manhattan.

For LACW 2013, PAMAR is proud to partner with The Nature Conservancy. We need clean water, healthy land and fresh air for our communities and culture to thrive, and The Nature Conservancy is helping to protect water for millions of people here in the U.S. and in Latin America. For more information about TNC contact www.nature.org.
