LITERATURE, THEATRE, MUSIC
Literature
The patriotic poems since the half of the XVIII century, are in the origins of literary tradition in Tucuman.
In the province there is a constant editorial task, official and private, books and literary magazines.
Theatre
There are three official theatres in the city and many private. At the end of the 1950 decade, the creation of the Culture official autarchic entity started the Stable Theatre of the Province. A few years later the University created the University Theatre. That sterted since the 60s a remarkable scenic activity, in quantity and quality, which made Tucuman stand out in the cultural map of the country.
Music
The Symphonic Orchestra of the UNT (National University of Tucuman), give impulse to a growth of the music spirit strongly encouraged by the coming of interpreters of international fame, specially in the annual festival "Musical September". Presently the Provincial Goverment maintains a Stable Orchestra, a Symphonic Band, a Stable Choir and a Conservatory, whilst the National University has its Music School, Symphony Orchestra and Juvenile Orchestra. With regard to popular music, Tucuman's folklore has a firm place in the country, through its interpreters- like the famous Mercedes Sosa- as well as its composers. Many of their compositios are dedicated to the landscape and the people which inspired them deeply.
