As I'm writing this entry to the festival's blog I feel very happy because our mission was more than accomplished. We had 10 very intense days of hard work and music sharing here in Barcelona and we had the amazing opportunity to share experiences and music with students and teachers in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
I'm writing a few days after our festival finished and as a organizer and teacher I can only tell all participants how important was for me to meet them and to have the opportunity to expend time with them and to exchange thoughts and music. I feel really privileged for having had that opportunity to work with very talented singers from very different corners of the world. This year the festival had students coming from Sweden, Russia, Philippines, Greece, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Canada, USA, Colombia and Brazil.
I learned lots of things during these past days. Thank you all for your open mind, for your tolerance, for your energy and disposition to work hard during the few days we were together.
I'm very, very happy of having you in my life now as I'm sure we will continue collaborating and communicating. You can count with me here in Barcelona! Please let me know about your performances in which you sing the repertoire we have been studying. I will always publish them in the BFOS site and help with its promotion.
One part of me is a little sad because the time together ended.... but, this is life...we have to continue with our lives and projects but now with new friends to share with our common love for music and singing.
Please, upload the pictures you have to the BFOS Facebook site. This is a group that is open, meaning that all members can post pictures and videos, so, please share the pictures you have with the rest of the group. We will treasure those images near to our hearts.
But remember, no time to be sad in times of Internet2! now we can keep in touch, for the time being using regular Internet trough Skype, email, FB, etc. Please keep in touch.
Here I'm giving access to the pictures of the Master Classes done between Barcelona and São Paulo using the Internet2.
