On August 5, Marco and José Lemos performed for a full “Sala Verdi” in Uruguay. The recital was part of the series “La Escena Vocal,” and included British and Brazilian songs. They were joined by percussionist German Gorostiaga.
Marco was recently awarded the Friedmann Thesis Prize at the Yale School of Music, “for a Master of Musical Arts thesis notable for its distinguished research, original perspective, in-depth engagement with its subject, and well-crafted presentation.” In the picture with him are Robert Blocker (Dean of the Yale School of Music), Matthew Welch (composer, also winner the award), and Michael Friedmann (Professor of Music, director of the Master of Musical Arts seminar).
Check out the upcoming Fall issue (Vol.39 No.4) of Soundboard magazine of the Guitar Foundation of America. The issue is devoted to technique, and Marco discusses methods for effective exercise practice.
