CELEBRATING MITWE VISIT & JAZZ DAY

By Mary Grace Santos | Administration

Dear supporters,

We are thrilled to talk about our presence in the communities where our youth belongs to, a very important visit to our campus and two special concerts.

BRINGING MUSIC TO OUR COMMUNITIES

During February, our students, teachers and friends of FEDUJAZZ took the streets of two communities in which we celebrated two free concerts, given that these two communities represent the vast majority of our students. On the 8th we went to Callejón de la Loma, on the 15th we visited La Ciénaga.

Our students played music with their souls while being witnessed by their families, neighbors and friends who not only watched our children but also enjoyed some música típica from our country thanks to one of the icons of the genre, Caballito de Mao, who closed both activities by playing merengue with accordion and making everyone dance with his contagious rhythm.

As the country celebrates National Independence in February, we got an invitation for our children to participate in this activity which sought to promote Dominican culture in Pedro Clisante street, El Batey.

FEDUJAZZ WELCOMES THE MIT WIND ENSEMBLE

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, better known as MIT, has a renowned ensemble of 55 musicians, the MIT Wind Ensemble, directed by Dr. Frederick Harris Jr. FEDUJAZZ had the honor to receive them for a series of workshops that took place on March 26th. All of FEDUJAZZ students were part of a general workshop and were later split for breakdown workshops aiming specific instruments.

On March 27th we celebrated a chamber concert with the MIT Wind Ensemble in Casa Marina Amphitheater, Sosúa. The place was jam-packed and at some point during the evening, Mr. Harris called Josean Jacobo to take the stage and conduct the ensemble, which was also joined by some students from FEDUJAZZ alongside a few teachers. They played two Dominican pieces, Compadre Pedro Juan y Juanita Morel.

CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY

International Jazz Day is celebrated every April 30th by the jazz community all over the world. FEDUJAZZ was part of this international activity with a concert celebrated on April 28th in Cabarete Beach. It was named “Green Jazz Generation”.

Our students and teachers brought music to the people enjoying the beach by the sunset. We promoted jazz and care for the environment

THANK YOU!

We at FEDUJAZZ reiterate how grateful we are to you, our supporters, who make all of this possible. Your generosity allows us to continue offering classes and concerts (all of it for free), repair instruments for our classes, and maintain our campus in Cabarete, which is a home for our students and it is open six days a week for a year round.

We invite you to keep donating to this project once more in order for music to serve as an outreach tool for Dominican Republic youth.
