Juan Trigos, Mexican-American composer and conductor born in Mexico City in 1965. Recently awarded with the 2020 Fromm Commission of the Fromm Music Foundation at Harvard University. The search for a personal musical language has led him to a concept he refers to as Abstract Folklore—a process in which he abstracts and assimilate various literary and vernacular musical traditions into a modern compositional rhetoric. Abstract Folklore includes creations in several genres such as Ballet, Opera, Cantata and Chamber Music. It also proposes a unique way to approach the Concerto and Symphony forms. As a composer, whose work has been performed worldwide, two fundamental aspects distinguish his musical production: vocal music (opera and sacred) and instrumental music with a notable predilection for the concertante forms. His more relevant works include five symphonies, five operas, *Ella-Miau* (She-Meow), *DeCachetitoRaspado* (CheekToStubbledCheek) and the trilogy *Mis Dos Cabezas Piensan Peor Que Una* (My Two Heads Think Worse Than One), three Concertante Cantatas, concertos for several instruments and his production for guitar.
