We are looking forward to the serenade with Carolina Zanelli and Carlina Flores and of course with Leonardo Lozano, Venezuelan guitarist, cuatro player, teacher and composer.

He received his first musical studies as a child under the direction of maestro Abundio López. He completed his art studies at the Universidad Central de Venezuela with honors and qualified as a guitarist at the Conservatorio Nacional de Música "Juan José Landaeta" (Caracas) under the direction of Maestro Armando Cisneros.

He has given concerts and master classes in several countries in America and Europe. He was founder, professor and academic advisor of the Bachelor of Arts in Music at the University "Arturo Michelena" (Valencia, Venezuela). He was the founder of the first chairs for Venezuelan cuatro soloists (Experimental School of the Academy of Arts "Violeta Lárez" and the National Conservatory of Music "Juan José Landaeta").

For more than twenty years he has held the chairs of Venezuelan solo cuatro and classical guitar at the National Conservatory of Music "Juan José Landaeta". He teaches classical guitar at the music school "Sebastián Echeverría Lozano" in Valencia, Venezuela. He received the National Prize "Fredy Reyna" in 2020 (Universidad Central de Venezuela, Universidad de Oriente and Universidad de Nueva Esparta). His discographic production includes titles such as "Un cuatro peregrino" (1994), "El cuatro en la música renacentista" (2002) and "Que llueva, que llueva" (2019).

He is the author of several works for cuatro and orchestra, a double concerto for oboe, Venezuelan cuatro and orchestra as well as works for Venezuelan solo cuatro, classical guitar, piano, chamber music and choir. His most recent composition is the guitar concerto "Coloquio en los molinos" in homage to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, which he wrote especially for the Camerata Complutense, Madrid (2024).
