The Centennial Celebration of Maestro Aurelio de la Vega will begin on November 25, 2025, his putative 100th birthday, and run throughout an entire year. We, members of the de la Vega Centennial Planning Committee, wish to apprise you of this important milestone, and invite you to join us in the festivities.

Our sweeping year-long homage will occasion performances of de la Vega’s repertoire—including orchestral, chamber, and vocal works—conferences on his stellar career—among which figure a Friedheim Kennedy Center Award, four Grammy nominations, plus a Cal-State System Distinguished Professor title—publication of his essays on music—in both English and Spanish—, and even a biography, to be out in Fall 2026.

If you would like to help us meet the challenging costs of these events we invite you to make a tax-free donation. Your gift will help cover the costs of musician’s fees, venue costs, travel and publicity. Any amount is greatly appreciated. To make a donation, please click HERE.
