RAMIREZ-HURTADO, Luciano. "Save some from misery", teaching the Divine Art to the poor children of Aguascalientes. Foundation and avatars of the music academy. Anu.hist.reg.front. [online]. 2024, vol.29, n.2, pp.81-110. Epub 24-Jul-2024. ISSN 0122-2066. https://doi.org/10.18273/revanu.v29n2-2024004.
This paper has the purpose of describing and analyzing the reasons why the first music academy was founded in the city of Aguascalientes, as an attempt by the State to teach music to an unprotected sector of society: poor children from the south of the city of Aguascalientes, Mexico, in the period 1881-1885. There is an account of the efforts, support and obstacles that the nascent institution faced, created so that young people would have the necessary musical knowledge to form bands, orchestras and groups, so that they could work, as well as the concern of authorities and individuals so that students had enough musical instruments and showed off at auditions held in public spaces and solemn educational events. The experiment was short-lived, it gave way to a new educational establishment, more formal and structured, according to new needs, I am referring to the founding of the municipal music academy by decree of the local congress in March 1885 so that there would be a conservatory and an orchestra given that a modern theater was being built, according to the modern criteria of the time.
