Música Alrededor La Navidad

We had 3 musical events within the week of Christmas.

A bronze ensemble that practices in the cultural center once a week, gave an impromptu performance on December 23 right before the "Concierto de Gala por la Navidad" in the Cathedral. The members of the bronze ensemble also played in the Christmas Concert of the Cathedral as they are all members of the Cusco Symphonic Orchestra. Many thanks to the bronze ensemble and their coordinator Luis Martinez.

On December 29 we had a concert by a group of students also studying by the Suzuki method but in a workshop independent of the Qantu Association that had earlier in November-December had graduation concerts in the house. For me, the highlight of the event was the short presentation given by the "Ritornello" string quartet after the student concert.

On December 30, the Ritornello" string quartet gave a full length concert. It was magnificent... and the sound of the quartet in the main room of this 16th century was just do beautiful. Thanks to Sandra Tello the representative for the quartet and to the members of the quartet.
