The Guadalajara Youth Symphony Orchestra is returning to Puerto Vallarta this month. On Friday, June 18 at 6 pm, a free preparatory workshop, open to the public, will be held in the Sala Benefactores of the Biblioteca Los Mangos. Then on Saturday, June 19th at 8:30 pm they will be performing a free concert at La Plaza de la Hermandad on the beach end of San Salvador street between Buenaventura Grand Hotel & Spa and Villa Premiere Hotel & Spa, off Calle M้xico.
Undoubtedly one of the most relevant cultural institutions in Jalisco's music force, the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Guadalajara is now in its fifth year.
Based on the solid formation of 40 young people from all over the state of Jalisco, these young people perform regularly and as well, participate in various music classes and courses. Fed with an additional 90 associate youths from various states across Mexico, this makes for the largest non-governmental musical network in the country.
The orchestra has performed in locations that range from rural communities in various municipalities throughout Jalisco and Nayarit to important venues in Mexico, Ecuador and Europe.
Their 2007 tour took them through France and Belgium, where they participated in the European Youth Festival in Neerpelt, bringing them the accolade of the first prize "Cum Laude."
Outstanding artists and soloists along with guests conductors have participated with the orchestra including Gloria Feidman (first clarinet in the Orchestra of Israel), Angela Yeung (Conductor of the San Diego Symphony Orchestra), Alondra de la Parra (Conductor, Orchestra of the Americas), Chistopher Wilshere of Canada (violin), Antonio Villanueva (trumpet), Martin Andre of England (Conductor, Momentum Perpetum in Portugal).
Currently under the baton of its chief conductor Miguel Almaguer, the orchestra reaffirms its commitments and renovates itself with innovative and propositional programs as well as more frequent visits to alternative spaces and a fresh approach to symphonic music.
Among their goals is the preservation of Mexico's musical heritage along with innovative programs, musical file records and as well, further public promotion via various concerts and publications. A constant priority is music education.
Los Mangos Library (Biblioteca Los Mangos) is pleased to present the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Guadalajara on June 18, 2010 at 6 pm as they participate in the library's "The Music of Mexico" workshop. Free entrance. Stop by to hear and meet this amazing group of young people!
