Festival Orchestra of Mexico
The Festival Orchestra of Mexico was founded in 1986, drawing on members of the best Mexican orchestras. Its primary purpose has been to provide concerts during the summer months, with a repertoire that includes music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly by composers from South and North America. Summer tours throughout Mexico remain a principal feature of the orchestra's activity, with an increasing number of recordings.

Enrique Bátiz
The distinguished Mexican conductor Enrique Bátiz has enjoyed considerable international success, with performances throughout the world, in particular in Europe and the Americas. From 1983 to 1989 he was Musical Director of the Mexico City Philharmonic Orchestra, preceded by a period from 1971 to 1983 as director of the Mexican State Symphony Orchestra, a position he resumed in 1990. Since 1984 he has been Principal Guest Conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London. Of some hundred digital recordings, some 32 have been made with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, nine with the London Symphony Orchestra and twelve with the London Philharmonic, in addition to recordings with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and with his own orchestras in Mexico. He remains one of the leading conductors of Latin America.
