New Mexico Suzuki students come together!
On Sunday, March 30, a special event will take place. Suzuki violin and viola students from Albuquerque and Santa Fe will come together for a group performance, at 2 pm in the Recital Hall at Robertson Violin Shop in Albuquerque.
It will be a great chance to bring New Mexico Suzuki students together. But it is more than that. We are coming together in force to help our colleagues and fellow students in South America.
For decades, North American Suzuki teachers, including New Mexico’s own Marilyn O’Boyle, have been instrumental in developing a network of Suzuki teachers and programs in Peru, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, and other nations. Most of these programs are in extremely poor cities and neighborhoods, places where the Suzuki experience has made a tremendous impact on the community. Hundreds of teachers have been trained, and thousands of children have learned to play violin, piano, recorder, and other instruments, enriching their lives immeasurably.
At the Suzuki Association of the Americas biennial conference in Minneapolis in May, the SAA is honoring this effort by hosting students and teachers from Latin America who have auditioned for and won placement in the 2014 Latin American Tour Group. This group will present their onw special concert at the conference, and will also play with students from north America in a hemisphere-wide friendship concert on the last day of the conference. Their performance will be streamed live all over the continent so that many more students can participate, including students here in New Mexico!
But they need help. Airfare from South America to Minneapolis is prohibitively expensive for many of the kids who have been chosen for this group. The $10 admission fee for this benefit concert on March 30 will help defray that cost. Donations are also welcome, but most of all, we want our Santa Fe students to be among the performers, contributing their talents to this cause.
