Juan Carlos Paz
Juan Carlos Paz (5 August 1897 – 26 August 1972) was an Argentine composer and music theorist.
Paz was born in
On 22 October 1929, a shared enthusiasm for new musical developments caused him, together with Juan José Castro and José María Castro, Gilardo Gilardi, and Jacobo Ficher, to form the Grupo renovación, with the aim of promoting the cause of modern music in Argentina. In 1936, Paz left the group to found his own concert series, the Conciertos de la Nueva Música.[3]
Paz was firmly opposed to the folkloristic approach to music that was widespread in Latin America in the 1930s and 1940s.
Paz's pupils included Susana Barón Superville who, like him, was a member of the Agrupación Nueva Música.[5]
