Mission
Fénix De Los Ingenios is an early music ensemble devoted to the performance of Hispanic and Latin American music and literature. Our principal mission is to offer U.S. audiences a better understanding of Hispanic American culture through our performances.
Namesake
Our name is taken from the pseudonym of the famous sixteenth century dramatist Lope De Vega (1562-1635) who modestly called himself “El Fénix De Los Ingenios,” which roughly translates into “The best of the ingenious."
