“What do we mean when we talk about the classic? What does a before and after of Beethoven mean? Does the Chilean song have a unique identity? What is music and what emotions does it provoke us ?, are some of the questions that we want to invite you to investigate and reflect on all our attendees, through a course with experts in different periods and musical times “, explains Cecilia Bravo, director of Art & Innovation Teatro del Lago.
