As part of a collaboration between Iberacademy and Bolivia Clásica, Bolivian Clásica alum Andres Mostajo returned to Bolivia from Colombia in November and December of 2025 to lead violin workshops in Samaipata, Cochabamba, and La Paz. These sessions focused on developing the fundamental techniques of young students.

In Samaipata, in the department of Santa Cruz, Andrés was brought in to work with string students at CAPI – Centro Artístico Pedagógico Integral, a cultural centre which supports educational and artistic activities in the city of Samaipata, primarily in the areas of year-round education, educational resources, and the promotion of educational projects and cultural activities in the region.

In the outskirts of Cochabamba, we collaborated with the social project Proyecto Orquestal Wayra, where Andres worked directly with young violin and viola students. The Wayra Orchestral Project was created within the Estrellas en la Calle Foundation to form a string orchestra with children and teenagers from the Cerro Verde area of Cochabamba, offering them alternative lifestyles through music and allowing them to learn an instrument.

In La Paz, Andres collaborated with our Clave Sol teachers, coaching Clave Sol orchestral students from La Paz and El Alto, as well as students from other musical projects over a period of several weeks. He also performed Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with them at the end-of-year Christmas concerts.
