Argentmúsica began its activities
as The Drangosch Group in November 1999 , within
the frame of the National University Institute of
Arts (IUNA). The purpose of this association of
professional musicians is to discover and preserve
works by Argentine classical composers. After composers
died this intangible heritage was unfairly neglected
in many cases and the risk exists of its disappearing
. Our task is to recover the material from private
and public libraries. In some cases manuscripts
need to be revised for being published. This material
is disseminated through recitals , lectures , and
recordings.
We present our yearly concert series in Buenos
Aires at the Teatro Colón Golden Hall and
the "Isaac Fernández Blanco" Museum
of Spanish American Art , and have also been active
in several Argentine cities, and in the US, Canada,
and the UK. In 2002 Argentmúsica released
its first CD featuring piano works and songs by
Ernesto Drangosch sponsored by the Argentine Music
Council and the German Embassy. This recording obtained
the 2002 TRIMARG-Unesco award. The second CD, "Argentine
classical composers and the tango (1867-2002) was
recorded in 2002. Other recordings to be soon released
include works by Alberto Williams, Manuel Gómez
Carrillo, and Angel Lasala.
