Classical music performances and festivals are highlighting cultural exchange and contemporary works in Peru and Ecuador. In late August, the National Symphony Orchestra of Peru and the Municipal Philharmonic Orchestra in Guayaquil, Ecuador, hosted international soloists, including Ecuadorian violinist Jorge Saade and Brazilian flautist James Strauss.

Following these events, developments in the Peruvian classical music scene include the scheduled October recital of Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov in Lima. Additionally, the 2026 Musicantes Festival is set to promote contemporary classical music by featuring over 30 Peruvian composers through various concerts and projects spanning Peru, the United States, and Argentina.
