Classical Music and Panamanian Music

Marcelyn and I attended this concert. Another outstanding performance of classical music brought to Boquete by Elsa Castillo, who is manager of the Biblioteca de Boquete.

First are a few pictures taken during the event.

Elsa was recognized by the Clarinon Chamber Music Group for her strong and long commitment to bringing quality musical events to Boquete. She was given an award that was custom made for her, including some indigenous art crafts. Recognition that is well-deserved.

Next are the marketing announcement and the program brochure images.

Followed here with the video recordings of the music performed during this concert. Technical comment here: the performance area was an extreme case of back lighting, given the white rear wall that was strongly illuminated with directed white lights, and then the musicians in dark clothing with no stage lighting available. The visual rendering of the performers in the below video clips therefore is not of high quality. There was nothing that could be done to improve the lighting of the performance area.
