This IFCM Online Café is open to all. It will focus on the art of choral composition. Three well-known Latin American composers will share their ideas on how to create choral music for ensembles today, using their own compositions as illustrations.
To develop this theme, IFCM invited composers from Latin America:
- César Alejandro Carrillo (Venezuela). César is a Venezuelan composer, arranger and choral conductor. He has performed in Europe, Asia and America. He has received many awards for his work as a composer and has also been a jury member, workshop leader and speaker at various local and international venues. He wrote the book Música Sacra - Guía de textos latinos traducidos al español. He conducted the Orfeón Universitario of the Central University of Venezuela from 1992 to 2012 and is currently the conductor of Cantarte and the founder and arranger of Bolanegra.
- Julio César Morales Pineda (Mexico). Julio Morales is a musician from Mexico. He is currently a choral director in the Community Choir Program of the Veracruz Institute of Culture and a director and arranger of Vox A Cappella Band, a vocal group with many tours abroad, Tenor in Exigence, a professional ensemble with singers from various nationalities; and Tenor in Los Bordershop Quartet, the first binational barbershop group. His music has been premiered and awarded in many countries.
