Al arribar a la antesala del Cincuentenario,
recorremos con grandes expectativas,
los sonidos y los silencios
de las almas, vidas y corazones,
contentos y decididos a aprender a crecer,
a tocar, cantar y luchar, 
la obra de cada Compositor, 
junto al Director de la familia musical por excelencia,
ya le conocen como El Sistema,
por la disciplina, el amor y el talento consagrados,
por ser una hermosa manera de vivir,
un motivo Venezolano y un modelo mundial a seguir . . .

FILOSOFIA - Año Nuevo Chino 2024 - Dragón de Madera

 FILOSOFIA 


                          Año Nuevo Chino 2024 

                               Dragón de Madera


Con la llegada de febrero, muchos comienzan los preparativos para dar inicio al Año del Dragón de Madera, un nuevo ciclo que se considera especial pues, según las creencias chinas, traerá autoridad, prosperidad y buena fortuna. La legendaria bestia mágica es un símbolo de autoridad, honor y dignidad, particularmente en China, donde ha representado el poder imperial desde la antigüedad.


El dragón es sinónimo de energía yang: vitalidad, visión y vigor. Los dragones son líderes orientados a la acción y motivados con benevolencia que ponen el bien del colectivo por encima de sus propias necesidades.


El Dragón es el quinto signo animal del ciclo del zodíaco chino. Si nació en 2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952, entonces su signo del zodíaco chino es Dragón.


Los años del Dragón se asocian con períodos de cambios significativos, innovación y avances. Este tiempo se considera propicio para emprender nuevos proyectos, buscar la excelencia y tomar decisiones importantes en la vida.


De hecho, durante el Año del Dragón, es común observar un aumento en el optimismo, la ambición y la búsqueda de logros personales y profesionales. Se cree que este período puede ofrecer oportunidades únicas para el crecimiento personal, el éxito financiero y la manifestación de metas a largo plazo.

FILOSOFIA - Nuestra Palabra

 

FILOSOFIA  

                             Nuestra  Palabra 

Ramakrishna decía : "La abeja revolotea zumbando hasta tanto no se pose sobre la flor y liba la dulzura de la miel que hay en ella. Pero, una vez dentro de la flor, gusta el néctar silenciosamente. Mientras el hombre disputa sobre doctrinas y dogmas demuestra que no ha probado el néctar de la verdadera fe. Una vez que la pruebe, se torna silencioso."

Esto ocurre cuando el buscador inquieto ha logrado su aspiración más urgente : reconocer a su Maestro. que es Él mismo y que su personalidad encuentra al fin en un hombre físico, singular a los ojos del mundo, pero que es para el discípulo Su Maestro, o sea : Ejemplo y Perfección constantes. La razón de esto es que la puerta estrecha que conduce al mundo en donde no hay espacio-tiempo-distancia, es una puerta física y visible.

Sólo entonces comienza el Sendero, un Sendero que no conduce a parajes etéricos o mágicos, sino a otro mundo igualmente físico pero que tiene para el discípulo otro sentido.

Pero permanecer al lado de Su Maestro significa continuos esfuerzos conscientes en estar Alerta y Despierto, porque en presencia del Maestro no es posible el sueño ; el discípulo debe entonces tener la honradez y la valentía de ver sus propias llagas reflejadas en el espejo que es Su Maestro ; y por esto decimos que el Maestro es Ejemplo y Perfección constantes porque el espejo gracias a su pureza devuelve siempre la imagen real del discípulo y éste debe corregirla  constantemente. Para el discípulo , ésta es la dulzura de la miel de Su Maestro.

El discípulo en el Corazón de Su Maestro lo ha logrado todo. Va renunciando a la voluntad de su personalidad hasta que se convierte en un habitante de dos mundos, haciéndolo todo en el Nombre de Dios Clemente y Misericordioso.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . . . 

Klaus Hermann Wilhelm Tennstedt (German: [ˈtɛnʃtɛt]; June 6, 1926 – January 11, 1998) was a German conductor from Merseburg. Known for his interpretation of the Austro-German repertoire, especially his sympathetic approaches towards Gustav Mahler, Tennstedt is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential conductors of the late 20th century. He worked with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the NDR Symphony Orchestra, and other highly regarded ensembles such as the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and most notably the London Philharmonic Orchestra, with which he was closely associated and recorded many of his celebrated recordings under the EMI label, including a cycle of Mahler's 10 symphonies.

Life and career

He studied violin and piano at the Leipzig Conservatory. He avoided military service during the Nazi era by joining a Baroque orchestra. He became concertmaster of the Halle Municipal Theater orchestra in 1948, but a finger injury ended his career as a violinist and he continued as a voice coach at the same theater. Tennstedt then directed his talents toward conducting. In 1958, he became music director of the Dresden Opera, and in 1962, music director of the Schwerin State Orchestra and Theatre.

He emigrated from East Germany in 1971, obtaining asylum in Sweden. He conducted in Gothenburg at the Göteborg Theater, and in Stockholm with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. In 1972, he became General Music Director of the Kiel Opera in northern Germany. From 1979 to 1981, he was chief conductor of the North German Radio Symphony Orchestra (NDR Symphony) in Hamburg, and during the same period (1979–82) was principal guest conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra in Minneapolis.

In 1974, Tennstedt made his North American debut with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. His first U.S. appearance was shortly after that, with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, on December 13, 1974, conducting an all-Brahms program. The following week, his BSO Bruckner Symphony No. 8 earned laudatory reviews. In Norman Lebrecht's The Maestro Myth, the story was told that when the Boston management asked Tennstedt what he wanted to conduct, he replied: "You mean I get to choose?" His appearances were so highly acclaimed that as a result, Tennstedt was invited to guest-conduct at the Tanglewood Music Festival and Blossom Music Festival in 1975.

His only American opera engagement was a series of seven performances of Beethoven's Fidelio at the Metropolitan Opera, the last of which, on January 7, 1984, was broadcast.

Tennstedt then guest-conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony, the Cincinnati Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the New York Philharmonic. In Europe, he guest- conducted the Concertgebouw OrchestraBavarian Radio Symphony of Munich, the Berlin Philharmonic and the SDR Symphony (now the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra).

His London debut was with the London Symphony (LSO) in 1976. In 1977 came his first engagement with the London Philharmonic (LPO), which led to his appointment as its principal guest conductor in 1980, and eventually as principal conductor in 1983. Due to ill-health he resigned in 1987, but was later named its conductor laureate,[1] returning to the LPO in 1986 to record Mahler's Symphony No. 8 ("Symphony of a Thousand", EMI DSB-47625) and for Mahler concerts in November 1991 (Symphony No. 6) and May 1993 (Symphony No. 7). His last guest appearance in the U.S. was with the New York Philharmonic in 1992, but on the advice of his physicians he retired from conducting altogether in October 1994. The last time he conducted was in June 1994, at a rehearsal of a student orchestra at Oxford University, where he received an honorary doctorate a few days later.[3] He died of throat cancer in January 1998, at his home in Kiel, Germany.

In 1978 Tennstedt became the first German conductor of his generation to conduct the Israel Philharmonic, which until then had boycotted German conductors because of their connections with the Nazi regime.

His recordings include a complete cycle of the symphonies of Gustav Mahler, and several of Tennstedt's concert performances have been reissued on CD.
