Our Mission.

Caminos del Inka, Inc.  is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to discover, preserve, expand and disseminate the rich musical legacy of the Americas through cultural and musical research, composition, publication, performance, education and outreach.

Our vision is to facilitate a permanent place for this music in concert repertoire worldwide, whether it be symphonic, chamber, choral, or opera.  

Caminos del Inka, Inc. pursues these goals by:

• Conducting historical, musicological, and audiovisual research;

• Commissioning original compositions and transcriptions of existing music;

• Publishing this music in various media to share it with broader audiences;

• Contextualizing the music with photography, videography and choreography;

• Presenting dynamic, historically-informed performances that educate audiences of all ages; and

• Inspiring a new generation of conductors and musicians to be excited about the music through The Conducting Institute and the Texas Institute for Orchestral Studies.

• Documenting the richness of the traditional music of Peru through Yaku Taki.
