Carlos Colón Quintana Donation
Last August the LAMC received a donation from Guatemalan composer and pianist Carlos Armando Colón Quintana. The donation consists of a collection of scores by Central American composers Roque Cordero, Igor de Gandarias, Manuel Herrarte, Joaquín Marroquín, Jose Porfirio González Alcantara, and Enrique Solares.
Carlos Colón Quintana (b.1966, El Salvador), moved to Guatemala in 1981. He studied with Jorge Sarmientos at the Conservatorio Nacional de Musica y Arte Escénico, and continued his studies of composition and piano in the United States with Edgar Cajas and Richard Shadinger, among others. In November of 1993, he completed a research project for his Master Thesis entitled Solo Piano Music by Representative Central American Composers. Several of the pieces discussed in the monograph are part of the collection, of which a detailed list is included in this issue of LAMusiCa.
