Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico - The Puerto Vallarta Orchestra School invites everyone to Teatro Vallarta on August 11th to enjoy Una Velada en Viena, a Summer concert featuring a program of Viennese musical selections that have filled concert halls, dance halls, films and television; melodies that surely we can all recognize and associate with pleasant moments.

The program, as always, reflects the growth of the students in the academic program. It demonstrates how they've learned to understand and interpret music, to understand the periods and trends that are the basis of all current music, and how they have grown as musicians. It also exemplifies how the OEPV stimulates students with always fun, but increasingly difficult, challenges that consolidate them as symphonic performers.

For students, it has been seven months of hard work and growth. In the first half of this year, the Puerto Vallarta Orchestra School performed more than 12 concerts here in the Banderas Bay area, with special emphasis on colonies and neighborhoods that this kind of music rarely reaches.

The OEPV has just returned home after an intense period of travel, concerts and learning that began with the trip to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon in February and concluded the second week of July with a trip to the city of Puebla, where some advanced students and Maestro Rua joined the BUAP (Benemérita Autonomous University of Puebla) National Youth Orchestra in interpreting musical pieces without arrangements, such as an abstract version of Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

Una Velada en Viena will not only demonstrate the students' progress, but will also serve as a fond farewell to three outstanding students who are moving on to join various conservatories in Mexico. We are very proud to have planted the seed in them and that they have chosen to make music their way of life.

Join us at Teatro Vallarta on Sunday, August 11th at 12 noon for a delightful and enriching concert performed by the Puerto Vallarta Orchestra School's talented young musicians. Tickets cost $100 pesos for general admission, and $50 pesos for students, children and seniors.
