This superb book hums with the sounds, conversations, and behind-the-scenes negotiations that created one of the most vital centers for new music in the 1960s. A keen observer of people and their motivations, Eduardo Herrera transforms our understanding of philanthropy, Latin American identity, and the twentieth century's many avant-gardes. * Lisa Jakelski, Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester * In this ambitious and pathbreaking book, a vital part of Western music's history is told for the first time. Highly recommended! * Danielle Fosler-Lussier, author of Music in America's Cold War Diplomacy *
