Academic ExcellenceThe fundamental goal of the Superior Art Institute of the Teatro Colón isto provide its students with the required artistic and technical training tobecome professional performers in the areas of opera, ballet and concerts.As in previous years, the activities planned for the academic year 2014specifically serve this purpose. To do so, the Institute is solidly involved in thecultural agenda of the general direction of the Teatro Colón Autarkic Entity,with its own experienced teaching and administrative staff and the muchappreciated support of those private entities agreeing with the Institute’spurpose and objectives.77

Fundación Teatro ColónSponsored by its foundation, the Teatro Colón will continue to grant its scholarshipprogram, to support the Children’s Chorus and to guarantee the involvement of ISATCstudents in major international contests. It is also part of the 2014 agenda to host masterclasses in Buenos Aires, such as the prestigious dance teacher Ludmila Kovalova’s,which will be carried out with a generous donation made by the distinguished dancerPaloma Herrera.Asociación Cooperadora del ISATC – TEatro ColónSuperior Art Institute (ISATC) Fundraising AssociationSummer and winter courses on specialties related to the Institute’s Degree Courses willbe organized and sponsored by the Teatro Colón Superior Art Institute FundraisingAssociation. Taught during the holidays, these courses are frequently attended bystudents coming from the interior of the country and abroad, seeing in these coursesan appreciated opportunity to enhance and continue their education. Furthermore,the Fundraising Association provides with much needed economical support for theimplementation of programs such as the 2013 Israel Philharmonic Orchestra soloistsmaster classes, aimed for the Orchestral Academy students.Del colón al País - From the Teatro Colón to the Entire CountrySponsored by BBVA Banco Francés, Del Colón al país program, which in 2013 reachedout to the cities of San Luis (San Luis), Paraná (Entre Ríos), Mar del Plata (Buenos Aires)and General Roca (Río Negro), will continue during the year 2014. Its purpose is to givethe ISATC students the opportunity to engage in artistic performances and to offer theyoung people of the different towns and cities with master classes given by the Institute’sprofessors, thus promoting the Teatro Colón’s institutional activities, as well as generatingopportunities for enhancement and continuing education. It also facilitates the spottingof new talents, who might be potential students of the Institute’s Degree Courses.National and International ContestsAs usual, the ISA organizes the auditions for contests such as the Neue Stimmen, Hans Gabor– Belvedere, and Competizione dell’opera, among others. This activity will continue in2014, thus promoting the performances of the selected young artists in Buenos Aires.Educational ProgramsIn 2014, there will also be room for the cycle “Mi primer…” (“My First…” concert, ballet,etc.), aimed at students of primary and secondary schools of the City of Buenos Aires.ISATC students participate in this program, with its coordinator, Professor Eduardo Barrientos,interacting with the specialized teachers in each school to prepare the attendingstudents for the occasion and design strategies for participation and assessment of theachieved results.78

StUdent PerformancesIn 2014, the Teatro Colón Golden Hall, together with other city venues, such as theTeatro del Globo and the Colegio de Graduados en Ciencias Económicas (EconomicsGraduates Association), will host performances by the students of the Institute’s manyDegree Courses. These performances will include chamber ensembles, soloist andvocal ensemble concerts, ballet recitals by the Dance Degree Course students andperforming practice shows by the Lyrical Singing Degree Course students.Academic OrchestraMade up by students of the Orchestral Academy Degree Course, the Academic Orchestrawill launch a 2014 policy to gradually increase the number of its members, starting withthe strings, to broaden the possibility of widening their repertoire. The Orchestra willoffer its usual cycle of monthly concerts on Thursdays at 5:00 pm in the Teatro ColónMain Hall, featuring prestigious conductors and soloists.In May, the Academic Orchestra will take part in an Orchestra Conduction Seminarlectured by the Institute’s Director, Guillermo Scarabino, a senior professor at the NationalUniversity of La Plata and the Argentine Catholic University.In August, two British specialists on instrumental pedagogy will visit our Orchestra—Oliver Butterworth (strings) and Julia Munn (winds). Both specialists will engage inan intense week of classes and training, developing a programme that will be performedin public as a closing ceremony to the whole experience. The visit of first-classorchestras to Buenos Aires allows their qualified soloists to give master classes to theOrchestral Academy students and auditing students, as was the case in 2013 with theSimón Bolívar Orchestra (Caracas), Concertgebouw Orchestra (Amsterdam), and IsraelPhilharmonic Orchestra. The same is expected for 2014, with members of otherorchestras performing in the city.Opera ProductionA comprehensive performance combining all six ISATC Degree Courses (OrchestralAcademy, Lyrical Singing, Portrayal, Dance, Stage Direction for Opera, and MusicalPreparation for Opera) is scheduled for December 6 th , 7 th , 13 th , and 14 th at the Teatro 25de Mayo. Two operas by Gian Carlo Menotti will be staged–Amahl and the Night Visitorsand The Telephone, with teachers and students active and extensively participating intheir production.Institutional ActionIn 2013, the ISATC initiated the processing of pending documentation before theGovernment of the City of Buenos Aires to obtain the recognition and validity of itsacademic degrees, so that its graduates can teach Arts in different jurisdictions.Closing this pending issue for 2014 constitutes an institutional priority.79
