New York, NY - The National Symphony Orchestra of Bolivia and its Music Director David Handel have announced that the Embassy of Netherlands in La Paz has awarded the NSO a grant of $50,000 for construction of their new music library, practice rooms at the Centro Sinfonico Nacional and media presentation equipment for use in master classes. The grant will also allow the orchestra to bring other international musicians to La Paz to work with National Symphony musicians and young talents. This project, created under the guidance of Maestro Handel, will be managed by the National Symphony Orchestra Foundation.
For more information, contact the National Symphony Orchestra of Bolivia at 591 2 220 3063, 591 2 212 9508, or by Email at sinfonica@sinfonicabolivia.org.
David Handel has, since 1998, led the National Symphony Orchestra of Bolivia (http://www.sinfonicabolivia.org/) through a period of important and widely reported artistic and institutional growth and will continue as Music Director of the NSO Bolivia, as well as Artistic Director to the Guadalquivir International Festival in Tarija, Bolivia (http://www.sinfonicabolivia.org/festival_guadalquivir2010.php). He also served as Music Director of the UNCuyo Symphony Orchestra (Mendoza, Argentina) from 2005 2008.
Beyond his commitments as Music Director, David Handel leads an extremely busy schedule as guest conductor with orchestras around the globe. During the 2010 concert season, he has engagements leading the Russian Philharmonic in Moscow, the Koszalin, (Poland) Philharmonic, the San Juan (Argentina) Symphony Orchestra, along with concerts in Mexico City, Bogota, Colombia and on tour with the NSO Bolivia (he will also be touring with them later in the year in Arequipa, Peru and Northern Chile). In addition, he will lead the La Serena Symphony Orchestra, where he is Music Director Designate, in June, September and October. In March of this year, Maestro Handel led the third edition of the Guadalquivir International Festival, bringing together some 100 of the finest orchestral musicians from throughout the continent and beyond.
David Handel has developed an extraordinary reputation as one of the most respected and innovative conductors in Latin America. His imaginative programming and distinctive community approach have brought record numbers of Bolivians to National Symphony concerts. Since the beginning of his tenure in Bolivia, audience attendance has grown twelve-fold, most of the new audience composed of young concert-goers.
