Aurinko -música de Latinoamérica ry is a Helsinki-based cultural association, founded in 2009. Its aim is to promote the works of Latin American composers. It promotes the composition, performance, research and recording of Latin American music. The association organises concerts and lecture series and supports the production of recordings, videos and publications on the subject. It commissions works. It maintains its own chamber music ensemble, Aurinko, a flexible ensemble dedicated entirely to Latin American repertoire.
Depending on the funding received, the Aurinko ensemble performs several concerts a year. It has performed in the Helsinki metropolitan area, Turku, Tampere and Salo, and has made concert and educational tours to Colombia (2015) and Peru (2016) and a concert tour to Madrid (2019). Aurinko has organised composition concerts of works by Latin American composers living in Finland. For several years, it has held multilingual (Finnish-Spanish-English) music concerts and children's concerts and has participated in the Iberofest festival.
