John G. Lazos recently completed his doctorate in musicology at the Université de Montréal. His research is based within 19th-century Mexican music and focuses on the intersections between music and the politics, religion and social events. He considers the sounds of Mexican culture to be defining aspects of its national identity. Lazos has a masters in Music Theory (University of Ottawa, 2002), a bachelors in Philosophy (Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, 2000), and was principal flautist of the Orquesta Filarmónica de Querétaro (1992–2000). In the past few years, Lazos has participated in conferences and published articles on music and Hispanic culture. His intention is to promote the little-known music from the period of Independent Mexico and its relation to the aesthetic ideas and intellectual preoccupations of the time.
