Dear friends:
It has fortunately been possible for us to help young musicians and enjoy with them extraordinary moments that make our lives more pleasant. This always happens in the master classes in which we can feel their drive and enthusiasm to learn and accomplish themselves, as well as in the concerts which they offer us with so much professionalism and success.

It is very beautiful to see how emotions grow with each project accomplished with love. We enjoy letting these emotions freely multiply themselves when we celebrate them.

Celebrate the success of others is to enjoy the biggest wealth. Each heart has its own stars. We wish that all of them could shine with all their strength. In the soul there is room for immense beauty.

Life does not look back for a single moment. Only some faded images, whether pleasant or not, come back persistently. From now on, we must wake up early and be in constant awareness to collect all the happiness that is awaiting us. Under the veil of the sky, inhabit the pearls that are able to make our days more harmonious.

With these pages the fifth year of Eutherpe´s Foundation in 2009 comes to an end: concerts in Leon´s and Valencia´s halls, an extraordinary concert in the Palau de la Musica de Valencia, and the master classes that took place in Leon.

Here I present the new Project of classes and concerts that we have prepared for 2010:
- The 3rd International Meeting of Young Pianists Kingdom of Leon. With maestros: Joaquín Soriano, Jacques Rouvier and Sergio Perticaroli.
- Tokyo´s Quartet, which will contribute to the learning of Valencia´s Chamber Music.
- Master classes for Young pianists, with Ana Guijarro.
- 7th Master classes for pianists, conductors and Young Orchestras, with a very attractive program. The maestros for this 7th edition will be Bruno Aprea y Joaquín Soriano, and the orchestra will be the Young Symphonic Orchestra of Galicia (JOSG).
- An opera: Cosi fan tutte, by Mozart, will take place in Leon´s Music Hall on October 2010. Teresa Berganza will be the Maestra and Director of the project. The artists will be young singers. The choir Ángel Barja, from León.
- We will offer two new cycles of concerts outside our two bases in Leon and Valencia: Young International Maestros, in collaboration with Auditorio Ciudad de León-Department of Culture of Leon´s town-hall. And Musicians of the World, in Caja España´s Music Hall, sponsored by the same banking institution.
- Sponsored by La Junta de Castilla y Leon´s Century Foundation, we will participate in the events that are organised in the city in commemoration with the 1100th anniversary of the kingdom, with Music in the Kingdom of Leon, 2010: International Piano Festival.
- Again a concert in the Palau de la Música de Valencia will close the yearly cycle of concerts in this city.
- We will continue with our regular program of concerts in Eutherpe´s Music Hall in Leon and in Valencia´s hall “Alfonso el Magnánimo” in the Beneficencia.

Eutherpe´s objectives are being realised with humbleness and perseverance. We are greatly thankful for the sensitivity, collaboration and support that we receive from maestros, students, sponsors, members and friends.
