Ensemble percusion de Lara

Wonderful and amazing performance by the talented students in Barquisimeto. Experimental and brave repertoir.


Also Rondo con brio by Jerker Johansson as body percussion!

Programa di Coro

Directora Raquel Castillo Zambrano presented the recent development of the choral program in the Nucleo. The program is conducted in the ordinary schools, public as well as privat, due to lack of space in the orchestra building. Seems to be fortunate circumstances. 

Amazing growth in one year. 



Students in the school choruses are invited to perform in concerts with the orchestral students. Using the same repertoir makes it possible to let students from different societies meet.


Gracias!

Tocar y luchar

It cannot always be perfect...  Great come back! We can all learn from these 6-7 years old.

Sebastian. Age 9.

Not only did he translate maestros instructions. He also practiced conducting.




In the end there was a change of roles. 



Good leadership on both hands!

Learning to play maracas

Well this is some real maracas playing - at the Age of 5!

Guanare - Percussion festival 2015

Back again in Venezuela on a fairly short notice. The plan was that Ensemble Los Llanos should have visited Gothenburg in September. But circumstances made it impossible. So, when invitation came we accepted, and are now enjoying the 10th edition of the international percussion festival in Guanare.
