The Consulate of Mexico in El Paso and El Centro Cultural Mexico Paso del Norte has the honor to present the world’s best crotalist and Mexico’s Prima Bailarina, Sonia Amelio, Wednesday, May 16, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. at the El Paso Scottish Rite Theater.

Sonia Amelio, who is originally from Mexico City, at the young age of 6, presented her first solo concert at the Palacio de Bellas Artes and six months later at the Teatro de la Ciudad. She was trained in dance, in both classical and traditional Spanish and Latin American ballet styles.

She is the most recognized Mexican artist in the world, and the scenarios of the main opera and ballet theaters of the five continents witness her creation, by raising the symphonic level of the castanets and, at the same time, dancing her own choreographies with the music of the great teachers: Bach, Beethoven, Lizt, Paganini among others.

Mexico’s Prima Bailarina, Sonia Amelio, has won numerous tributes, being able to name in the United States the Kennedy Center in Washington and in San Diego, where there is an Institute and its respective museum “Sonia Amelio”.

In each of her presentations Sonia Amelio leaves a message of love and understanding among human beings, motivating awareness, convincing the public that art in any of its manifestations is the best way to be united for peace in the world. Reason why she won the title “Ambassador of Art for Peace”.

We invite you to delight yourself with the unique and incomparable Sonia Amelio.
