APERIO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that presents
unusual and rarely performed chamber music by contemporary
composers from the Americas. The organization provides
lively and thought-provoking concerts, educational
opportunities and outreach programs to Houston’s
diverse performing and visual arts audiences. By
emphasizing the works of Latin and Anglo-American
composers, APERIO illuminates the rich musical heritage of
South and North America. Drawing from many indigenous and
foreign cultures, the multicultural programming provides
artistic, social and political contexts for the
compositions from the New World. Through its interactive
and explanatory format, locally and nationally recognized
musicians draw parallels to other visual, literary and
performing art forms.
