HARP MUSIC for YOU!

Acting with Rocio Rodriguez in the show “Castañuelas, cuerdas y tacones” not only became a learning experience but it was one of the most beautiful projects in my whole career as a dancer. The dedication and discipline of Rocio was fundamental to achieve our project. Her working capacity motivated us to reach the level that this show required so we were not in behind her great talent.

El haber actuado junto a Rocio Rodriguez en el espectaculo “Castañuelas, cuerdas y tacones” no solo se convirtio en un trabajo de aprendizaje continuo sino tambien en uno de los proyectos mas agradables y bellos en toda mi carrera como bailarina. La dedicacion, seriedad y disciplina de Rocio fue fundamental para sacar ese proyecto adelante. Su capacidad de trabajo nos motivo a tratar de llegar al nivel de interpretacion que requeria ese espectaculo ya que siempre senti que nuestro aporte podia quedarse corto ante el enorme talento de Rocio.

I can say very proudly that Rocio Rodríguez is an amazing artist!

Her playing on the harp is charming and virtuosistic!

As the First Harp of the Orquesta Sinfonica de Colombia she always revealed great talent and sensibility.

I feel very honored to be her friend and I know visiting her web page you will not hesitate to listen and enjoy her music!
