The Conservatory of Music of San Javier will premiere next Thursday March 22 four works for Choir composed entirely by students of the subject of Fundamentals of Composition.
The works with music and original lyrics composed by the students Ana Belén García, Pedro Botella, Alejandro Jiménez and Alberto Fernández are part of a project of Educational Innovation in the Classroom of Composition, which has been called "Voices for Peace".
The Councilor for Education Catalina Pérez, the Composition teacher, Javier Pérez and the student Alberto Fernández presented this morning at the City Hall of San Javier this "transversal project based on cooperative learning of the students" that allows them to take their work beyond the classroom, participating in the materialization of the work within the Conservatory, and contributing to the cultural diffusion in the municipality with its public premiere, explained the professor coordinator of the project and former student of the center, Javier Pérez.
Alberto Fernández, composition student, highlighted the possibility that this project offers them to experience the whole process until their initial scores end up becoming something real interpreted by the Choir.
The young composers discuss their work with the Choir and attend the rehearsals for the putting of their works, in a project that involves the whole center and more than a hundred students.
The theme of the works, pays tribute to the title of San Javier as "Child Friendly City", and the lyrics are addressed to young people with themes such as peace, freedom and love, under the concert "Voices for the Paz "that will premiere on March 22 at 7:30 p.m. at the Parque Almansa civic center in San Javier, by the center choir conducted by Charo Alcaraz.
The presentation of this project, which works since September 2017, coincides with another pioneering initiative of the Conservatory of San Javier, in the regional framework, such as the launch of a project within the eTwinning digital platform, for the exchange between European centers.
The initiative, developed by the subjects of Harmony, Analysis and Fundamentals of Composition, will allow its students to work virtually with conservatories of Italy and Turkey in a project based on the traditional music of each country and its characteristics that will end with the recording of one work for each participating country that will be collected on a CD.
The Conservatory has also been news today for the start of its "Spring Concerts" that were announced in the same act.
The Councilor for Education, Catalina Pérez recalled that there will be a total of 20 concerts in six days from March 14 to 22, giving space to all the instrumental specialties taught at the center.
