Students from the Piano and Complementary Piano chairs at the School of Music, part of the Faculty of Philosophy, Humanities and Arts of the National University of San Juan, will present two free Spring Concerts on Thursday, October 1, Diario de Cuyo reported.
The performances will bring together students from the pre-university and university cycle of Complementary Piano, as well as students from the Teaching Program and the Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education, according to the report. The repertoire will include works from the Baroque period, Argentine academic music, popular pieces, ensembles and compositions chosen by the performers themselves.
Professor Flavia Carrascosa said the program is varied and attractive, highlighting the diversity of styles in both presentations. The concerts are part of a pedagogical proposal designed to strengthen students’ stage experience and create spaces to share learning with the community.
The chairs consider these instances valuable for students training as future music teachers, since they can transfer those performance experiences to their own educational practices. Carrascosa noted the importance of student acceptance and motivation regarding participation in the concerts.
The first presentation begins at 4 p.m. in the Aula Magna of the FFHA. The program includes four-hand piano works, pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, Eduardo Calcagno, Carlos Guastavino and Julián Aguirre, plus a tango by MarÃa Elena Walsh and Pat Metheny’s Phase Dance with piano, vibraphone and bass.
