Duo Skarka-Pohl is taking part in a new international music project in
co-operation with the Centro de Investigación y Estudios Musicales Mexico (CIEM).
The International Project
1st Compostition Award Janacek-Revueltas
(Czech Republic - Mexico)
2008
With the main purpose to
contribute to the cultural exchange between the Czech Republic and Mexico, and in order to help to the international
promotion of Czech and Mexican young high quality musicians, it was created the “Composition award Janacek Revueltas”
as the result of the addition of the efforts of the Centro de Investigación y Estudios de la Música CIEM (Mexico City), the
Duo Skarka – Pohl (Czech Republic), and the CIEM’s Ex alumni Network.
On its first edition 2008, the competition is open to all the student
community of the Centro de Investigación y Estudios de la Música who would be cursing the undergraduate level of the Licentiate
in Music Composition.
An event of this importance could not miss the presence of high quality
and professionally experienced performers as the Duo Skarka – Pohl, which will be proudly representing to the Czech
Republic in the Latin American musical scene.
The addition of the young musical talent of our nations, and a production management integrated by experienced personalities of the artistic media of both
countries, plus the fresh music - management vision of the young people working in this competition, are turning to the “First
composition award Janacek - Revueltas 2008” in an excellent chance to show off the high quality of the performing arts
existing in Mexico and the Czech Republic.
