Music has been fundamental for humans when facing Covid-9, people feel hopeful when they listen to it, therefore it has the ability to penetrate society and positively transform it.
This power in the physical, emotional and intellectual of music over people is because it is a means to find oneself, which is reflected with emotional and mental responses, it even invites reflection.
Rodrigo Macías, general director of the Symphony Orchestra of the State of Mexico (OSEM), expressed the above and considered that a pandemic without music would have been much more difficult to face, so it is essential to approach people of all ages to rebuild the social fabric.
“I am one of the people who believes that music has the ability to transform people positively, indeed classical melodies make us feel calmer sometimes, sometimes not, but all good music has that quality of making us reflect,” he said. .
He added that music is not only entertainment, happy sounds, but also has the ability to penetrate society and transform it positively, it fulfills a social function, musicians are useful.
“We are not decoration, entertainment or hobby, we are central actors in the positive transformation of society and the Symphony Orchestra of the State of Mexico is an ideal vehicle to achieve this,” he said.
The teacher Rodrigo Macías explained that music captures, enters through the ear, reaches the heart, invades the whole body and mind, it is also a revelation when living it, when doing it or listening to it live, the famous click is given, so we It gives the opportunity to have new emotions, but the most important thing is the reaction with the discovery of new sensations.
