The Music Festival
of Panama is a project created by
various Panamanian musicians, for the purpose of bringing together national
and International
musicians in a great cultural and
artistic exchange, through diverse activities that enrich their musical
passion and expertise.
The intention of the Alfredo Saint-Malo Music Festival of Panama is to
prepare Panamanian artists in the world of classical music by promoting the
art of music education, improving the tactics of teaching and creating
musicians at the highest level.
The Festival activities are abundant and reach far into the community. They
include public concerts, lectures, workshops, and master classes seeking to
improve the quality of music performance taught by foreign musicians.
Likewise, the Festival will provide the opportunity for the greater public
to appreciate classical music, especially to those that have not had the
opportunity to attend and listen to a live concert or recital. This will
contribute to the cultural enrichment and education of Panama. Through the
Music Festival of Panama, the Panamanian public will greatly benefit with
the diverse artistic demonstrations that will be offered. The founders’ hope
is to build a new energy and enthusiasm within the Panamanian community.
Within the general public, there will be a greater demand for quality and
diverse music. And within the student population, there will be a greater
demand for opportunities for learning, performing and enriching their local
communities.
The Festival is an opportunity for Panama and Panamanians. Panama will gain
goodwill exposure to music lovers around the world. Panamanians with a
passion and love for music will be able to interact with foreign music
professionals. Also, local musicians will be able to perform publicly and
expand their own musical careers.
Throughout Latin America and other parts of the world, musicians are
provided with local support and professional education to develop their
talent and passion. We hope this Festival will ignite the same for our
fellow Panamanian students, musicians and the music community.
