The Festival de Música de Cámara de San Miguel de Allende, one of the most renowned in Mexico and Latin America, was founded in 1979 by a group of Mexicans and foreign residents with the idea of establishing a chamber music festival – based on the internationally famous festivals of Spoleto, Edinburgh and Marlboro – in their own city.

The National Institution of Fine Arts (INBA) joined them with enthusiasm, and the Festival began with a single weekly concert by a well-known group – the Fine Arts Quartet was the first – which during the rest of the week gave advanced classes to young Mexican scholarship students who wanted to refine their musical skills. By 2007, fifteen concerts were given in the Teatro Ángela Peralta and other venues, by seven different musical groups.

Ten of these concerts were sold out, making the 29th season of the Festival one of the m ost successful to date.
