Translated headline: Songs For You Arrives to Greeley

Description of the Publication: This is a radio interview featuring Maestro Diego Barbosa-Vásquez and Greeley Philharmonic Executive Director Ben Barnhart. The discussion centers on the orchestra's "Canciones para ti" concert as a community-oriented initiative to engage Greeley's Latino population. The Maestro's role is emphasized as he explains the artistic philosophy behind the project: elevating popular Latin American music to the main stage by commissioning new symphonic arrangements, thereby applying the same rigorous artistic standards as traditional Western repertoire. He frames the concert as a model for making orchestras culturally relevant through authentic collaboration and audience participation.
