Valuing the importance of creativity in education, providing a space for children and young adults to create while providing adequate learning tools to overcome obstacles and create leader of tomorrow, the SaludArte Foundation supports the following programs
AFMED (Philharmonic Academy of Medellin)
Since 2011, the SaludArte Foundation began working in collaboration with the Philharmonic of Medellin and Maestro Alejandro Posada, developing the Philharmonic Academy Orchestra of Medellin. Since then, over 200 young musicians have learned the importance of music education as an essential career opportunity for their professional future. This all has been possible thanks to the collaboration of the New World Symphony in Miami Beach and the HILTI Foundation, in Switzerland.

LOVA (the Opera, a Vehicle for Learning)
Since 2007 SaludArte Foundation in collaboration with the Royal Theater of Madrid, made possible the LOVA (The Opera, a Vehicle for Learning) project. During the entire academic year, children form an Opera Company compose an entire Opera, including its name and logo, theme, title, plot, dialogue, and music, as well as other aspects of production, such as costumes, scenery, lighting, etc. Although the creation of a final production is a natural goal of the program, more importantly for the students is the essence of teamwork, cooperation and self-esteem, which are essential components of the learning processes of this project. Valuing the importance of creativity in education, providing a space for children to create, providing adequate learning tools to overcome problems, has become a main objective for certain educators that still believe that schools should prepare children for functioning in real life. LOVA is designed for such goal. Please visit LOVA, where you will find detailed information about the learning process, including videos and images of one of the most important educational programs that have been established in the arts scenario.

Master classes
Through “LiVE: Connecting the world through music” SaludArte Foundation, also offers Online Master Classes to classical music students from the AFMED program in Medellin, Colombia. Aimed at improving finer details of attack, tone, phrasing, and overall shape, while the students are expected to have complete control of more basic elements such as rhythm and pitch. This valuable setup allows all students to benefit from the master's comments on each piece presented. These opportunities permit that young musicians, typically from low-income backgrounds will continue their education and become leaders of tomorrow. Our Music Masters in the past include Julian Rachlin, Nina Heidenreich and Jasmine Choi. |
