The Bard Music Festival is an annual classical music festival held during the month of August on the campus of Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.
 Founded in 1990, the festival was created with the intention of finding ways to present the history of music in innovative ways to contemporary audiences.
 To this end, each year the festival selects a single composer to be its main focus and presents performances in tandem with presentations on biographical details on the subject and links to the worlds of literature, painting, theater, philosophy, and politics that would have influenced the life and works of the featured composer.
 The effort to bridge the worlds of performance and scholarship often results in a variety of concert formats and styles that often depart from the typical recital and concert structure.
 Concerts are frequently presented with informative preconcert talks, panel discussions by renowned musicians and scholars, and other special events.
 In addition, each season a book of essays, translations, and correspondence relating to the festival’s central figure is published by Princeton University Press.
 The festival is currently led by Artistic Directors Leon Botstein, Christopher H. Gibbs, and Robert Martin.

Américo Paredes (September 3, 1915 – May 5, 1999) was a Mexican-American author born in Brownsville, Texas who authored several texts focusing on the border life that existed between the United States and Mexico, particularly around the Rio Grande region of South Texas.
 His family on his father’s side, however, had been in the Americas since 1580.
 His ancestors were "sefarditas", or Spanish Jews who had been converted to Christianity, and in 1749 - along with Escandon - they settled in the lower Rio Grande.
 The year of Paredes’ birth was the year of the last Texas Mexican Uprising, which was to portend the life Paredes was to lead.
 Throughout his long career as a journalist, folklorist and professor, Paredes was to bring focus to his Mexican American heritage, and the beauty of those traditions.
