Viva la Música Club
The Viva la Música Club became a reality as a result of the enthusiasm expressed by members of the Hispanic community who attended the first Viva la Música Community Engagement event in January 2003. Their mission is to introduce the cultural perspectives of Hispanics of all heritages in the Puget Sound area and beyond, and to support Seattle Symphony Community and Education Programs. Club members plan numerous social and cultural events throughout the season.
