The Bogotá Philharmonic Orchestra opened registration for the 19 Local Philharmonic Centres, so it invites children, young people and adolescents between the ages of 7 and 17 to be part of the Music Training Project 'Let's go to the Philharmonic'.
The general director of the Philharmonic, David García, assured that in the Orchestra “we are happy to return with our Music Training Project to face-to-face in the localities, it has been a challenge for us to maintain our attention throughout the pandemic, due to the difficulties that many beneficiaries presented by the access to connectivity”.
The 19 Philharmonic Centers are located in Antonio Nariño, Barrios Unidos, Bosa, Chapinero, Ciudad Bolivar, Engativa, Fontibon, Kennedy, La Candelaria, Los Martyrs, Rafael Uribe, San Cristobal, Santa Fe, Suba, Sumapaz, Tunjuelito, Teusaquillo, Usaquén and Usme.
By 2022, in conjunction with the guidelines of the health and education sectors, classes will be in a model of alternation and face-to-face as they normally were and will be maintained according to how health conditions follow.
In this regard, García added that “returning to these face-to-face spaces allows children, especially in greater situations of vulnerability, to have spaces where they feel safe and can give continuity to musical training as part of their integral education.”
As part of the Musical Training Project 'Let's go to the Philharmonic', selected minors will be able to access musical initiation, choir/vocal, creation, percussion and other symphonic instruments such as violin, clarinet or trumpet, among others, free of charge and by the best artists who train the city.
Likewise, the project envisages that participants may be part of musical groups such as Orchestras, Choirs, Children's and Pre-Youth Bands of the Bogotá Philharmonic Orchestra.
The Philharmonic warns that it is not essential for boys and girls to have previous knowledge in music, it is only necessary to demonstrate connection with some of the localities where the program is located and to be eager to learn.
As for the methodology, in the 'Back to Philharmonic' the teaching and learning processes take place through the musical experience in order to develop the aesthetic sensitivity and creativity of students, through the implementation of pedagogical and didactic strategies, in which students can enrich their musical knowledge with practice, following the model proposed by the American pedagogue John Dewey 'learning, doing'.
Applying this model, in 2021, the Music Training Project attended a total of 25,228 children, adolescents and young people, 161 of them belonging to early childhood, 477 were victims, 477 were at risk of street habitability, 687 were peasant families, 97 from various ethnic groups: indigenous, black (palenqueros, Afro-descendants, Raizales), Gypsies and 355 people with disabilities.
In addition to providing the opportunity for employability to 427 training artists in the city.
Those interested can consult the registration process on the Philharmonic portal or by writing to info@ofb.gov.co.
