Música orquestal tendrá su primer festival en Costa Rica

from facebook.com/PrensaMCJ

I Festival de Orquestas Unidas

• Conciertos se realizarán del 16 al 23 de julio, con 12 presentaciones en Teatro Nacional, Teatro Melico Salazar y Liberia 
• Participan ocho orquestas sinfónicas del país con integrantes de todas las edades; además la Orquesta de las Américas (YOA) como invitada especial 

San José, 4 de julio de 2013. Ocho orquestas sinfónicas costarricenses, más la Orquesta de la Américas, conocida como YOA, por sus siglas en inglés (Youth Orchestra of Americas), ofrecerán doce conciertos en el país, en el marco del I Festival de Orquestas Unidas que organiza el Centro Nacional de la Música (CNM) del Ministerio de Cultura y Juventud (MCJ), del 16 al 23 de julio.

Los conciertos sinfónicos tendrán como escenarios el Teatro Nacional y el Teatro Popular Melico Salazar, en la capital; así como la Iglesia Inmaculada Concepción, en Liberia.

Así lo comunicó Guillermo Madriz, el director del Centro Nacional de la Música (CNM), quien junto a representantes de las orquestas sinfónicas participantes brindaron detalles del repertorio de los conciertos y de la actividad, este 4 de julio, en el Teatro de la Danza.

“Más de 800 músicos de toda América Latina estarán participando de los conciertos junto a sus respectivos ensambles, los cuales brindarán al público costarricense lo mejor del repertorio nacional, latinoamericano y universal. La idea del CNM fue continuar con la promoción de nuestra música, no solo con los conciertos de la YOA y la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional, sino hermanar a todas las orquestas que realizan un trabajo importante en el país”, manifestó Madriz.

Los ensambles costarricenses que participarán son la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional (OSN), Orquesta Sinfónica Manuel María Gutiérrez y la Orquesta Sinfónica Isidro Fernández Mora, del SINEM; además, la Orquesta Sinfónica Intermedia del INM, Orquesta Sinfónica Infantil del INM, Orquesta Sinfónica de Heredia, la Orquesta Sinfónica Municipal de Cartago, la Orquesta Sinfónica de la Universidad de Costa Rica y la Orquesta Sinfónica del Conservatorio de Castella.

Según informaron sus representantes, en cada concierto se presentará un repertorio musical diferente, donde destacan obras de importantes compositores costarricenses, latinoamericanos y europeos, tales como Shostakóvich, Beethoven, Verdi, Bach, Ginastera y Mora, entre otros. El repertorio de cada uno de los conciertos se puede consultar en el siguiente enlace:

http://tinyurl.com/lyjmezh

YOA invitada especial del Festival. La Orquesta de las Américas es una orquesta sinfónica compuesta por 100 músicos entre los 18 y 30 años, provenientes de 25 países del continente. Sus integrantes se renuevan cada año para realizar una gira, que en esta ocasión será por la región centroamericana.

Además, durante la gira, músicos, profesores, directores y artistas invitados, se reúnen para dar y recibir clases magistrales con sus homólogos locales.

La gira de la YOA por los países centroamericanos dio origen al I Festival de Orquestas Unidas. “Para aprovechar su paso por Costa Rica y fomentar un espíritu de unión entre los diferentes ensambles orquestales del país”, indicó el director del CNM.

“Los primeros días acá algunos miembros de la facultad de la YOA trabajarán con estudiantes del Sinem en Liberia, otros estarán en ensayos con la OSN, para luego iniciar con los conciertos. La última presentación será muy emocionante, pues se integrarán 40 músicos costarricenses de todas las orquestas, bajo la dirección de Carlos Miguel Prieto, lo que me parece una ocasión muy especial”, manifestó Jody Steiger, representante de la YOA.

Prieto también será encargado de dirigir a la OSN en el VI Concierto de Temporada Oficial, el 19 y 21 de julio, junto con la pianista venezolana Gabriela Montero, quien llega al país como solista invitada y también compartirá el escenario con la YOA para la grabación de un disco “en directo”, en el Teatro Nacional.

Según manifestó Jorge Duarte, director académico del Instituto Nacional de la Música, hace ya varios años que esta institución tiene relación con la YOA, ya que muchos de los estudiantes del INM, han participado como músicos activos de esta orquesta.

“Ha sido muy valiosa la experiencia que adquieren gracias a la calidad de la agrupación, ya que son talentos del continente. Especialmente esta ocasión me parece muy significativo tener a estos músicos y sus directores, impartiendo clases maestras en el INM. Vamos a invitar a las escuelas de música para que se nutran de estas charlas, las que van a estar abiertas a toda la comunidad”, indicó Duarte.

Las orquestas sinfónicas del INM que participarán serán la Orquesta Sinfónica Infantil, cuyos integrantes son de edad escolar; y la Orquesta Sinfónica Intermedia, con jóvenes de edad colegial.

Participación del Sinem. Por su parte, el Sistema de Educación Musical (Sinem) tendrá una participación muy activa en cuanto a la capacitación y a la participación de dos de sus orquestas.

La Orquesta Sinfónica Isidro Fernández Mora, del Sinem de Liberia, compuesta por cien niños, entre los 8 y los 14, será telonera de la YOA en el concierto que ofrecerán en la ciudad guanacasteca. Además, en el Festival participará la Orquesta Sinfónica Manuel María Gutiérrez, bajo la dirección de Olga Gabriela Mora, máster en Dirección Musical, según informó Miguel Ángel Peña, director general de esa instancia.

Las entradas para estos 12 conciertos tendrán un costo de 3000 colones en cualquier localidad, excepto las presentaciones de la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional (OSN) y la Orquesta de las Américas (YOA), que mantendrán los precios de temporada, es decir, entre ¢4000  y ¢17000 colones, según ubicación; así como el de la Orquesta Sinfónica Manuel María Gutiérrez, que se realiza el 16 de julio, que tendrá precios de “Teatro al Mediodía”, es decir, ¢1500 colones.

What is Virgin Coconut Oil and how is it Traditionally-made??

There has been an abundance of research in recent years in coconut oil producing countries looking at the various methods of producing "virgin coconut oil." What has been discovered is that the traditional wet-milling methods of producing coconut oil using very simple technology, much as has been used for thousands of years, actually produces a very high quality coconut oil. The most quantifiable characteristic that can be tested in a laboratory test is the amount of antioxidants in the coconut oil.

The traditional wet-milling method called "fermentation." "Fermentation" here is defined as the natural separation of the coconut oil from water using gravity. No machine or other substances are used in the extraction.

First, coconut milk is expressed from the freshly harvested coconuts by using the pure water that is present inside the coconuts. The coconut milk is then allowed to sit for approximately half a day. During this time, the heavier water separates from the oil by sinking to the bottom, while the lighter coconut solids float to the top (curds). In between the coconut solids and the water is a coconut oil that is completely unrefined. The oil is then slightly heated (less than boiling temperatures) for a short time (5 -15 minutes depending on air temperatures) to remove any remaining moisture and increase antioxidant levels, and then filtered. The result is coconut oil that retains the distinct scent and taste of coconuts. This is a traditional method of coconut oil extraction that has been used for hundreds, if not thousands of years. It is a much more labor-intensive method of producing coconut oil, and cannot be replicated by machine through mass production.

TESTIMONIES:
Here are some testimonies from people that have used our Coconut Oil:

Sharon - Grecia:  My husband has Alzheimer’s disease and every day I cook food using the coconut oil and he has become much more cognizant and less stressed.  It is amazing how well it is working.

Natalia - Sarchi:  I have been putting it into a spray bottle mixed with water and spraying my hair every morning.  My hair is much less frizzy and is

Beverly - Grecia:  I rub it into my skin all over my body, my face and neck look healthier and my wrinkles don’t look so bad.

Nancy - Atenas:  With daily consumption, my memory has improved.  I don’t walk into a room anymore not remembering what I went there for.

Jan - San Louis:  I have been adding it to my dog’s food and his skin is so much better and his fur is soft and shiny.

Vicki - Escazu:  I'm now using Coconut Oil for many things so I'm excited to find a decent priced Organic Cold-Pressed coconut oil! 

TOOTHPASTE:  My main thing is making my Toothpaste which is just Baking Soda, Therapeutic-Grade (ingestible) Essential Oils (I ONLY use doTerra) - Peppermint for flavor, Melaluca (aka Tea Tree) to help my gums & sometimes I add some Lemon & a few other things depending on what's going on in my mouth/gums plus the key ingredient is Coconut Oil!  On top of the fact it's WAYYY cheaper than store bought toothpaste - but this is actually good FOR you!! 
FACE CREAM:  It's the ONLY "face cream" I'm now using and it's AMAZING how the wrinkles are smoothing out.  Plus I'm using it on my whole bod!!  

ATHLETES FOOT:  I've just started using it on my feet with some Melaluca/Tea Tree and my Athletes Foot is FINALLY clearing up after YEARS (ahhhh all the bacteria we're exposed to living in the tropics!!).
BROWNIES:  Last week I used it instead of regular oil in my Ghiradelli Triple Chocolate Brownies!!  Everyone went CRAZY over them!!
SMOOTHIES:  I'm adding some in my Smoothies and that helps the taste pop more plus I know it's good for me!!!! 
THANX for making this available to us!!!

Jeane - Atenas:  My feet have never looked so good.  The heals of my feet were cracked and painful.  Just using the oil on my feet healed the cracks, and my feet look great now.  I will never stop using this oil.

Judith - Grecia:  I have severe Psoriasis and even though the oil hasn’t cured it, it has relieved the symptoms of scaly skin.  The skin is now soft and pink.  I need to use it every day or the symptoms come back.  What a relief this is.

Professional Women's Group of Costa Rica's Monthly Meeting - "The Art of Delegation" - July 6, 2013

Women in Leadership:

JULY PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOP
 "The Art of Delegation"

Unburden yourself, Empower your Team!
facebook.com/events/1381594815390245

The responsibilities that come with being an entrepreneur can easily monopolize your time and energy. So how can you free yourself up to work ON your business, rather than IN it? How can managers and team leaders meet the short-term goals of a project, while also working towards long-term goals?

The key is delegation: Sharing your authority and responsibilities with your team members.

Delegating effectively will not only lighten your workload, but also increase the intellectual capital of your business or organization, and enrich team members’ jobs by giving them greater scope and depth of involvement.

Join us for a workshop on how to use delegation as a leadership tool (and learn from other participants’ experiences too)!
