English IV. Alonso Díaz

Hello again. Today I like talk about of my repertory. If you remember, im studying classical guitar at the University of Chile and I have a repertory in specific this year becaouse my objectives are play a concert, go to contests in Chile and anothers countrys. Well, this semester I´m Studying pieces by twenty century. I will play works by Heitor Villa-Lobos from Brazil, Joaquín Turina from Spain and Nikita Koshkin from Rusia. I´m going to play this program in a concert next april 26th at GAM. The works are very beautiful and evokes the esthetic of the twenty century in the classical guitar.

My name is Alonso Díaz. I was born in Santiago in 1995, I grew up in San Ramon. It´s a town in the south of Santiago I learned to play football and ride bike there. I went to school at ISUCH (Institute of secondary studios at the University of Chile), this school is for students of arts like music, dance and visual arts. I went to this school because in 2009 I enter to the Arts School at the University of Chile and I began to study Classical Guitar. When I began study guitar my parents were happy but worried, because in Chile it is not very easy to find a job in the music ambit. My father is a commercial engineer, so he doesn´t know how a musician earns money. My mother is a secretary, but she is more confident because she believes in me. I have one big brother. He studied laws at the University of Adolfo Ibanez and now he is doing the professional practice. I live with my father. My brother live´s with my mother, because in 2006 my parents broke up.
