Expand Your Knowledge with Renowned Masters of Academic Music
The Armonía Cultural Foundation brings lovers of academic music and lyrical singing closer to world-class masters, internationally recognized for their performances in theaters, operas, and musical productions. You will have the opportunity to learn from these musical geniuses in the Arte Lírico discussion series, streamed free via Facebook Live. Don’t miss your chance to win a masterclass by registering on the Foundation’s official website!
Through these events, the Armonía Cultural Foundation seeks to provide Ecuadorian lyrical singers with tools to continue perfecting their vocal instrument. At the same time, the initiative aims to promote opera and academic music while challenging the social myths that often label classical music as an “elitist art.”
On Tuesday, August 11, the Foundation will launch its second series of conversations with renowned lyrical singers throughout the week. We share with you the profile of each master, the topics they will address, and the dates of their participation. Take advantage of this unique opportunity and be part of Arte Lírico!
