Latin Charm Series
Music, Flavor and Connection at SoundWaves
Celebrate the rhythm, soul and storytelling of Latin America with the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra’s Latin Charm Series at SoundWaves.
Designed as more than a concert, the series brings together live music, culture, food and community for immersive evenings inspired by the traditions and sounds of Latin America.
Each gathering offers its own distinctive experience, with performances that may draw from salsa, cumbia, mariachi, Latin pop, traditional music and contemporary favorites, all presented in the intimate setting of SoundWaves.

A Full Cultural Experience
Music is only part of the experience.
Latin Charm events may also feature food inspired by the cultures being celebrated, creating an evening where guests can connect through both music and flavor.
Past gatherings have included a multi-course dinner from Chef Lynden Zuniga and the team at Tio’s Latin American Kitchen, adding another layer of warmth and authenticity to the celebration.
The result is an experience that feels personal, festive and deeply connected to the cultures that inspire it.
Stories, Traditions and Community
At its core, the Latin Charm Series is about connection.
Through music, dance, storytelling and shared experiences, the series creates space for audiences to discover new traditions, reconnect with familiar sounds and celebrate the diversity of Latin American culture.
The close setting at SoundWaves allows guests to experience the performers in a more personal way, turning each program into a gathering rather than simply a performance.
Programs within the series have included holiday celebrations, cultural showcases and high-energy evenings inspired by music from throughout Latin America.
From Feliz Navidad to Pachanga and Noche de Encanto Latino, each event offers a different expression of the series while sharing the same spirit of rhythm, hospitality and connection.
