Orquesta de Las Américas is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2002 by Carlos Miguel Prieto, a renowned Mexican conductor. The ensemble is made up of young musicians from all over the Americas, who come together to create a unique sound that blends the musical traditions of North, Central, and South America. The idea for Orquesta de Las Américas came about when Prieto was conducting the National Symphony Orchestra of Mexico and noticed that many of the musicians were from other countries in the Americas. He realized that there was a wealth of musical talent in the region that was not being fully utilized, and he wanted to create an ensemble that would showcase the diversity and richness of the music of the Americas. Prieto enlisted the help of several other musicians and music educators, and together they began to recruit young musicians from all over the Americas. The ensemble's first performance was in 2002, and it was an immediate success. The musicians' passion and energy, combined with Prieto's dynamic conducting style, created a sound that was both powerful and nuanced.

The ensemble has performed in some of the most prestigious concert halls in the world, including Carnegie Hall in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. One of the highlights of Orquesta de Las Américas' career was their performance at the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards. The ensemble performed a piece by Mexican composer Arturo Márquez, and their performance was widely praised for its energy and passion. The performance was also a tribute to the late Mexican singer-songwriter José José, who had passed away earlier that year. Orquesta de Las Américas has also been recognized for their commitment to music education. The ensemble has worked with young musicians all over the Americas, providing them with opportunities to learn from some of the best musicians in the region.
