Overview

To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Bolivia’s independence on August 6, 2025, we will be launching the #BolivianBicentennialChallenge — an internet-based initiative that invites musicians from around the world to learn and perform music by Bolivian classical composers.

Participants will record videos of their performances and submit them to the challenge organizers. Participants will record videos of their performances and submit them. Subsequent to their submission, we encourage them to post their videos on Instagram (and optionally other platforms) starting on August 6, tagging the challenge and helping us to highlight Bolivia’s vast repertoire.
