Join Tarik and Anna for a great conversation with composer, Juan Pablo Contreras, a Latin GRAMMY®-nominated composer from Guadalajara, Mexico.

His works have been performed by major orchestras throughout Mexico, including, the National Symphony Orchestra of Mexico, the Salta and Córdoba Symphonies in Argentina, the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and many others.
