La Serena University Symphony Orchestra prepares major musical events

orchestra June 13

After a magnificent 5th Season Concert, which was characterized by a choral symphonic repertoire, with more than 100 artists on stage and the premiere of the Anthem of the Coquimbo Region, the OSULS does not stop its hard work and announces spectacular presentations.

We will not only have football on June 13. For the same date, the concert ''Romanticismos'' is scheduled, under the direction of the German maestro Gottfried Engels, who visits the Coquimbo Region again to conduct the Symphony Orchestra of the University of La Serena.

Currently, Gottfried Engels serves as chief conductor of the Bonn Hofgarten Orchestra. Parallel to his activities as a director, he is a teacher and works as a soloist, playing in various orchestras and chamber music groups. Additionally, he has participated in various recordings for radio record labels. The main focus of his interest is the performance of baroque and classical music with original instruments.

In the Romanticismos concert, the public will be able to appreciate the work ''Peripeteia II'' by Manuel Contreras, the Symphony 104 in D Major by Franz Joseph Haydn and the Concerto for Horn and Orchestra No. 1 in Eb major Op 11 by Richard Strauss, which will be performed by soloist Bobbi-Jane Berkheimer, first horn of the La Serena University Symphony Orchestra, Master of Musical Arts (French horn) from New York University in Stony Brook, Long Island, under the tutelage of Professor William Purvis. She completed a Bachelor of Music at the Boston Conservatory of Music, under the tutelage of Professor Thomas Newell. He has participated in master classes by cornists David Jolley, Barry Tuckwell, Frank Lloyd and cellist Bernard Greenhaus.

As is traditional, the University of La Serena Symphony Orchestra expects massive public attendance at these interesting musical events, which have already become a fundamental part of the regional billboard. The prices for both events will be $3.000 for the general public and $2.000 for students and seniors.

A special event called ''Symphonic Tango'' is scheduled for the month of July, which will feature the participation of the prominent national director Francisco Núñez and the presence of the singers Katy Campos and Pablo Moraga, who will be accompanied by the musicians Rodolfo Jorquera and Cristian Molina on bandoneon.
