Taylor symphonic, the show in which teenagers sing, dance and pogo while touching a live orchestra

When Taylor Swift He came to Argentina, was demonstrated once again that his presence really revolutionizes young people and that the emotion generated by his music in them achieves unthinkable things. And this feeling is something that Argentine Airports Orchestra He detected and knew how to make the most.

In February 2024, after the unforgettable visit of the American singer to the country, this group of young musicians scholars for the Corporation América Foundation used all their talent to give A free show at the Belgrano Barrancas roundabout in tribute to Swift.

His initial idea was that everyone who passed through the place could enjoy Taylor’s music, this time in its symphonic version. However, what never imagined was that this I was going to summon hundreds of people, who sang, danced and pogo to the rhythm of their instruments, creating A true phenomenon.

Thus he was born Symphonic Taylorthe show that managed to interest hundreds of children, adolescents and young adults in listening to a symphonic orchestra at a time in the seemed that These types of cultural events had begun to lose diffusion among the new generations.

While today is a success, which will arrive for the second time to Corrientes Street on June 14 at El Nacional Theater, the orchestra director Néstor Tedescohe never imagined what this project was going to climb the way he did, with an exhausted function after another.

The idea came from his daughter, Florencia, who is Swiftie For years. “The first thing I thought was that I was not going to work. Because there is so much music to do with a symphony orchestra … “, commented the director in an exclusive talk with Clarion. “Then I started seeing the positive side, which I found immediately after the first time we made a Taylor presentation,” he added.

“It seems to me a fabulous link tool Make Taylor Swift music or any pop hero of the moment. I think that It would be very difficult to link a young man with classical music if you invite him to listen to a symphony that lasts 50 minutes, Without cuts, “he said.

Although, for many musicians with a classical training like yours, this proposal may seem some less value than other types of concerts, for Nestor “All music is wonderful if it is well touched.”

“My intention is that the boys who participate have an important educational tour. So We play from Mozart and Beethoven to pop music And movie soundtracks, “he explained.

“Behind every great man, there is a daughter Swiftie”said Florencia Tedesco, Néstor’s daughter, who is currently the artistic director of Symphonic Taylor. “I am a Taylor fan since 2008. When I was to come, I started insisting my dad to make a symphonic taylor “, The young woman recalled, in the middle of one of the essays for her great presentation at the El Nacional Theater.

While the idea itself worked, Florence took it to another level and managed to connect with fans from several planes, beyond music. “As soon as the show took a theater, The possibility of adding lights and screens appeared and I entered a direction role with a look Swiftie The idea was to contribute to the orchestra without taking advantage of them, “he explained.

“I grabbed all the elements I knew about Taylor and put references on the screens, I played with the colors of the lights and added a couple of surprises that appear in the show, “he explained. His efforts definitely paid off, since, thanks to this proposal, the orchestra filled room several times, including A massive presentation at the Libertad Palace that became mega viral on social networks.

Who most surprised and happy were left with the impact of Symphonic Taylor They were the musicians of the Argentine Airport Orchestra, who They are between 15 and 25 years old and many dreams to fulfill. And, although not everyone considers Taylor Swift fans, they began to take special affection for their music.

For the violist Ulises Velascothe fury that caused in the people the symphonic in tribute to Swift was a true surprise. “It is curious to see how the orchestra had the reach he had and with the repertoire that had it,” The 20 -year -old explained that from a child he formed to be a musician. “De Taylor knew very little, because what he listened was what he listened to on the street and no more. Today I realize that perhaps it is more everyday than I believed “, express.

Being something unknown and different, at first, Ulysses doubted the idea of ​​making a symphonic show in tribute to Taylor Swift. “It seemed a bit weird, I couldn’t conceive it. But the truth is the arrangements of the orchestra are very well doneSy could do a very good job, “he said.

The same happened to Sofia Bueno Villalobosthe clarinetist, who lived with great emotion the experience of sharing his music with a full room. “I was used to small concerts where there were not many people. My mother and sister came to see me and the room was never filled. What happened to Taylor Symphonic was explosive “said.

While at the beginning the idea of ​​playing music by Taylor Swift was not very excited, today this way to be a Swiftie further: “Forming as a classic musician, Solés have some aversion to the unknown. I thought it was very rare to do covers Taylor Swift. With the passage of time I adapted, I liked their songs and I got excited about the music she had. I discovered an artist who really had very hidden. “

Sofia also admitted that what she is passionate about is not very attractive to the boys of her age. “Today generations are not usually so oriented to listen to symphonic orchestras,” assured. In his opinion, Symphonic Taylor He arrived to change the panorama. “I saw testimonies of girls who were and liked. Some were even interested in some instruments. It is very good to know that this legacy that many big people think that they are really being lost “, told

In the essay, asking which orchestra’s member is Taylor Swift’s most Malena Maraschi, The Chelista, who has been part of the group of musicians for three years. Undoubtedly, it was the most excited to learn that Symphonic Taylor It was going to exist, although it was also the one who instantly understood that It was a great responsibility.

“When I learned that we were going to do Taylor Symphonic first I got very happy. Then I began to think if I was really going to be good, or if people were going to like it, “said Malena. After the first concert, all his concerns disappeared.

“When we did the first concert, there were a lot of people, we couldn’t believe it. I was not waiting for me to become so viral. The orchestra I don’t know if it was so well known before this. Now he went up a lot, “he said.

Having grown up listening to Taylor’s music, for Malena, playing with the orchestra and listening to the swifties in the shows singing in choir the songs have a different emotional load. “Love Story I love it. It is the song of my childhood. Going to singing to her when I was a girl to touch her with the orchestra is a dream “, express.

Malena’s case, who shared his experience through his Tiktok account, Today it can serve as inspiration for thousands of children and young people who have inclination for music. Thanks to this proposal of the Airport Orchestra, the boys have the possibility of discover the symphonic world And, why not, be encouraged to learn to play an instrument, to be able to reconnect with its artistic side, which does so well to its development.
