The Qantu music association affiliated with Suzuki Music of Peru had concerts and graduation ceremonies in several different events. Our daughter graduated from book 1 of violin during the November 13 graduation from books 1 to 3 for violin. There were separate events during November and into December for violin books 4-7, flutes, guitar and piano. The concerts were delightful and by books 4-7, the music is very refined and sophisticated reaching professional quality. The Qantu program in Cusco draws students from all walks of life and is not at all a program for the elite!

Playing together as part of the graduation concert for books 1-3 of violin.

The teachers have an international composition: Flor Canelo (back left) is the director and comes from Perú. Allyson (front left) comes from Canada, Fernando (back 3rd from right) comes from Perú, Amy and Angela (back right) come from the US.

For that matter, while the majority of students in Qantu come from Perú, there is a sprinkling of students from the US and France as well.
