The Ensemble
Fronteras del Silencio (“The Borders of Silence”) is an Ensemble created in 2001 under the leadership of Alejandro Iglesias Rossi. Its conceptual framework contributes to native Latin American instruments the same ontological dignity as to those inherited from the European tradition, as well as those developed by modern digital technology.
In 2004 Fronteras del Silencio became the basis for the creation of the first 25-member Orchestra of Indigenous Instruments and New Technologies of the National University at Tres de Febrero. The recordings of the Ensemble as well as the Orchestra have been broadcast by (among others): BBC Radio, Radio France, Deutschland Radio-Berlin, RAI 3, Polish National Radio, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, NHK-Tokyo, Société Radio Canada-CBC, Denmark National Radio, New Zealand Radio, Radio Beethoven de Chile and Radio Nacional de Argentina.
The Ensemble and the Orchestra have performed at international and national forums, such as: the 3rd Regional Meeting of Presidents of the Music Council of the Three Americas of the UNESCO (2001); XIIth Chilean Festival of Contemporary Music (2002), International Festival EIMC at the National Museum of Fine Arts (2003); Australasian Electro-acoustic Music Association Festival 2004 in Wellington (New Zealand), Festival AD LIBITUM in Warsaw (Poland 2006), International Festival IS ARTI of Kaunas (Lithuania, 2006), Porta World Music Festival in Riga (Letonia, 2006) as well as at the Teatro Colón, Recoleta Cultural Center and the Cultural Center Jorge Luis Borges in Argentina.
The Orchestra of Indigenous Instruments and New Technologies is composed by composer-performers and members of the Master Degree in Musical Creation, New Technologies and Traditional Arts, as well as the Electronics Arts Department of the National University at Tres de Febrero.
