José Emilio Amores

José Emilio Amores Cañals (March 10, 1919 - June 27, 2014) was one of the first chemistry teachers at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education and is known for his work in promoting the arts from 1947 to the present in the city of Monterrey, Mexico. His cultural work grew out of his initial teaching job, when the director of the Palacio de Bellas Artes refused to help him bring musicians to play in Monterrey. He founded the Sociedad Artística Tecnológico, which he directed for thirty-two years, followed by stints directing several museums and other cultural institutions. He also has written poetry, essays, books and a play. Provided by Wikipedia
