This poster by Luis Alonso commemorates the national tribute to Augusto Rodríguez, one of Puerto Rico’s most influential choral directors and founders of the iconic Coro de la Universidad de Puerto Rico. Rodríguez’s contributions shaped the island’s musical identity for decades, elevating Puerto Rican choral music to international standing. The 1997 homage celebrated his legacy through concerts, lectures, and cultural events.
Alonso’s design abstracts musical notation into playful marks and rhythmic patterns that echo Rodríguez’s lifelong dedication to harmony and collective expression. The layered textures and gestural shapes reflect the dynamic qualities of choral performance. As a cultural artifact, the poster represents the strong relationship between graphic arts and music education fostered by Puerto Rico’s cultural institutions in the 1990s.
