Vientos musicales

In 2007, the Instituto Estatal de la Cultura (IEC) of Guanajuato started the largest program for the promotion of traditional wind band music, one of the popular artistic expressions that has been preserved as a tradition passed down through generations and that constitutes the origin of the Sistema de Formación Musical del estado de Guanajuato Vientos Musicales (Musical Training System of the State of Guanajuato Vientos Musicales). This system offers a complete musical education to girls, boys and young people of the state that make up 27 musical groups, including symphonic bands, choral ensembles and orchestras in 26 municipalities of the state. From this system, outstanding students are selected to make a selection assembly, with the youth symphonic band Vientos participating in the FIC every year since its foundation.
