It was a closing at the height of the great shows of the world. Monumental Baroque was the great co-production that closed the XIII Festival of Renaissance and Baroque Music Misiones de Chiquitos.
The modern theater of the Colegio Santa Cruz Cooperative School was the right place for the Santa Cruz public to enjoy the talent of more than 150 musicians, including soloists, choirs and local orchestraswho shared the stage with members of the Florida International University School of Music (USA), directed by Javier Mendoza.
“I am honored to be able to share with the talented musicians of Santa Cruz whom I have found at a much higher level, I am very grateful to APAC for this opportunity”, said Mendoza.
The program was of a high level, because included American Baroque works and The King Shall Rejoiceone of four hymns composed in 1727 by the great Georg Friedrich Händel.
“After spending 30 years studying the archives of Bolivia, I have wondered if something similar existed here and where I would find evidence of it. So perhaps musical productions were not so voluminous in the 18th century, but they included many people and it shows in some works of Sucrefor example, where the composer had in mind a massive execution of his creations”, explained Father Piotr Nawrot, artistic director of the festival and responsible for choosing the program that the public heard tonight.
Percy Áñez, president of the Association for Art and Culture (APAC), organizing institution of the festival, cannot hide its emotion when mentioning the experience lived this year.
“Not only did we find an improved artistic level, but we also witnessed the ability and strength of people to know how to overcome difficulties. Outside artists were proud to be able to play with our orchestras. Every day has been magical, there are tears of emotionthere are laughs, it has been a party that is difficult to describe, it is necessary to experience it in order to understand it”, Áñez expressed.
The work will have an extra function this Monday, May 2, at 11:00, in the San Roque temple.
