The piano class of the pianist Emilio Aliss returns to the scene next Friday (7:00 p.m.), offering the “Autumn Concert” in the main hall of the Palacio Portales.
Since 2016, Aliss has organized the seasonal concerts, in which both the preparatory class and the advanced class present their work.
The “Autumn Concert” is the first of the auditions of the year and shows all the work potential that children and young people with musical talent have.
This concert represents the first challenge that will give the whole class the essential stimulus to build a new year of piano growth, for the benefit of Bolivian artistic development.
“It is one more opportunity for the talented children and youth who make up my piano class to nurture their love for music and share their work with our audience,” Aliss said.
The advanced class is made up of a group of young pianists who, after entering the piano class, have made merits and progress that enable them to tackle musically and technically transcendental works of the universal repertoire.
Currently, the advanced class is made up of Isabel Vargas and Diana Ávila.
An important artistic event for this group of talented young people is the Festival – National Piano Competition of Totora, which takes place every year in October 2016, where Aliss’s piano class has constantly received many awards. .
Aliss pointed out that Rafaela Camacho, Naomi Rodríguez, Alejandra Salcedo, Fiorella Velásquez, Pablo Fernández, Sophie Rodríguez, Camila Elías, Daniel Bosco, Carlos Canseco, Diana Avila and Isabel Vargas have a wide and varied repertoire to share with the audience.
“Thanks to the presence of cellist Ariana Stambuk, we will also be able to enjoy chamber music works. The Apolo Trio, which is celebrating its silver wedding anniversary this year, will close the concert, as a special guest, ”she remarked.
Emilio Aliss, with studies in piano and music education at the Geneva Conservatory, is a soloist with a long career, currently dedicated to the Apolo Trio, with whom he is intensely active and with whom he has recorded several albums and has performed concerts in Brazil, Chile, Spain, Switzerland and the USA.
Since 1986, he has contributed to the training of several young Bolivian pianists, many of whom have won prizes in various piano competitions, and is currently a professor in the Music Degree Program at the Universidad Mayor de San Simón (UMSS).
