Top 5 Classical Music for Hispanic Heritage Month by Composer Sabrina Peña Young

What is Hispanic Heritage Month? Every year the United States celebrates the accomplishments and achievements of its Latino citizens. Hispanic Heritage Month people groups include those of Latin American descent, those from Spain or Portugal, and the indigenous people of the Americas. While "Hispanic" typically refers to those of Spanish (Spain) origin, Hispanic Heritage Month has grown to include a wide array of talented musicians, leaders, politicians, artists, athletes, scientists, and more from the Latino diaspora.

These works are ideal for any Hispanic Heritage celebration, Hispanic Heritage activities, and other celebrations of Latinos. Sabrina Peña Young is of Cuban and Dominican origin. Her works have been premiered throughout Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Americas and range from large scale works like her Creation Oratorio to smaller chamber pieces and electroacoustic compositions like Enigma.
