Collaboration is a fundamental pillar for both artistic and academic growth. Through strategic partnerships with internationally renowned institutions and artists, AMAM has expanded training opportunities and strengthened the practice of historically informed performance in our region.
Our collaboration with MAAC (Música Antiga Associação Cultural) in Portugal has established a program of specialized classes with expert instructors. This academic exchange with a sister organization enriches us with new perspectives and solidifies connections with the global early music community.
In Bogotá, Camila Toro Vocal Studio has become an essential partner in our theatrical productions. Camila plays a pivotal role not only in training singers within the framework of historically informed performance but also in preparing the entire visual and dramatic aspects of our opera productions. Camila's expertise extends beyond vocal technique, encompassing the design of set design, costumes, and acting for our productions. Her comprehensive approach ensures that each performance is a fully immersive experience, blending music, visual arts, and dramatic interpretation in a cohesive and historically authentic manner. This collaboration enriches the Academy's opera productions, offering students and audiences alike a complete artistic experience rooted in the principles of historical authenticity while maintaining an innovative and dynamic approach to opera.
Our collaboration with Mexican luthier Gabriela Guadalajara has been crucial in organizing the 1st Latin American Congress of Baroque Violin-Making, a pioneering event that brings together participants from Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia. Through this congress, we aim to foster the development of historical instrument-making in the region, creating a space for knowledge exchange among luthiers, musicians, and scholars, while promoting the creation of a Latin American Baroque instrumentarium that will advance the practice and study of early music.
These partnerships reflect our commitment to cooperation and the democratization of access to high-level musical education. Together, we continue to build a vibrant ecosystem where early music comes to life and looks toward the future.
