Qué orgullo ver a nuestros estudiantes sobre el escenario! 💙🎶

En el marco de Circuitos Vivos, la iniciativa nacional del Ministerio de las Culturas, las Artes y los Saberes, los niños y jóvenes de la Magdalena Music School participaron en una de las ferias culturales realizadas en San Agustín.

Durante su presentación no solo interpretaron su repertorio musical, sino que también compartieron con el público parte del trabajo que han venido desarrollando en las clases de Expresión Corporal, demostrando cómo la música, el movimiento y la expresión artística hacen parte de su proceso de formación. Fue una oportunidad para mostrar su talento, el esfuerzo que hay detrás de cada ensayo y el crecimiento que han alcanzado a lo largo de este camino.

Nos emociona ver cómo cada presentación fortalece su confianza, les permite expresarse con libertad y les brinda la oportunidad de compartir su pasión por el arte con toda la comunidad.

La Magdalena Music School es el proyecto social de Chaska Tours Colombia, desarrollado a través de la Asociación Serconatural, con el propósito de generar oportunidades para niños y jóvenes de San Agustín mediante la educación artística y musical.
