Leonardo Palacios-Paz, Band, Basic Program

Leonardo comes from Cali in Colombia, and one could say he is by nature a specialist for Latin-American music:

In his homeland, he studied music with Prof. Leon J. Simar, one of Paul Hindemith’s best students. His work as a trumpeter and music pedagogue enriches the Freiburg music scene, and studying with him is a chance that Latin-music fans should not miss.

The lessons can be held, by choice, in German or Spanish.

•National Symphony Orchestra of Colombia
•Freiburg Orchestergesellschaft
•Academic Orchestra of the Freiburg University
•Symphony Orchestra of the Freiburg Pädagogischen Hochschule

Leonardo has played trumpet in the following big bands:
