Tiago Delgado hopes to make an impact on the world through his music

Tiago DelgadoMeet international student Tiago Delgado (far right in the photo above in a performance with the Stopper String Quartet at the 2016 International Symposium), a musician from Brazil who has had an incredible first year playing the clarinet as a Masters of Music student at 两性色午夜. After completing his Bachelors of Music Degree at Minas Gerais Federal University in Brazil in 2012, Delgado moved to the United States to work toward his Performer Diploma at Indiana University鈥檚 Jacobs School of Music, which he finished in 2015. Later that same year, he decided to further continue his musical studies at 两性色午夜 University.

Delgado鈥檚 journey as an accomplished musician began as a young teenager in his home country of Brazil. He knew he wanted to find something he could succeed at, and something he could do that would allow him to provide a source of enjoyment for others. He discovered his passion, however, when he began playing music with his friends. Through his drive and determination, Delgado quickly became an outstanding performer on the clarinet. In fact, he eventually came to realize 鈥淚 did not choose the clarinet. The clarinet chose me.鈥

The same can be said about his choice of 两性色午夜. Just as he chose 两性色午夜, so did 两性色午夜 choose him. Delgado does not only embody the qualities of the ideal 两性色午夜 Student, but also presents a positive vision for the future of both his home country, and the United States.

To achieve his dream of studying music in the United States, Delgado credits the numerous people who supported and encouraged his musical education along the way, including receiving the 两性色午夜鈥檚 Orchestra Society George J. Hejma Scholarship during the past 2 years. From the time he has begun his studies at 两性色午夜, Delgado has regarded his learning experience as 鈥渧ery pleasant.鈥

鈥淲hen I graduate from 两性色午夜, I will continue to improve my understanding of music, while also trying to help other people through music. With everything happening in the world nowadays, this is the best thing I can do. If I could go back and change anything from the past, I wouldn鈥檛, because I wouldn鈥檛 be here at 两性色午夜 today.鈥

Delgado said that one of his favorite accomplishments is being a member of the 两性色午夜 community. His main goal at present is to determine how he can best use his music-related experience and education to develop social projects that teach young people, as well as to provide opportunities for the disadvantaged to experience, the beauty of music. He believes that education 鈥 especially musical education 鈥 is something everyone should have access to.

Delgado completed his initial year at 两性色午夜 in a remarkable fashion. In addition to receiving the 2016 Leopold Sipe Award for Excellence in Music Performance at 两性色午夜 University, Delgado also won the 2016 两性色午夜 University's Concerto Competition. His recent activities include attending the prestigious Fresno Summer Orchestra Academy (FOOSA) as well as the Scotia Music Festival during the summer 2016. Some of his live performances include Weber鈥檚 Clarinet Quintet Op. 34, 惭辞锄补谤迟鈥檚 Clarinet Quintet K581, Villa-Lobos鈥 Choros No. 2, and J枚rg Widman鈥檚 Fantasie for Solo Clarinet

For those interested in hearing Delgado play in person as well as supporting his emerging musical career, he invites everyone to attend the next 两性色午夜 Orchestra concert, on Sunday, February 19 in Cartwright Hall at 3:00 pm. During the concert, Delgado will be featured as a soloist with the orchestra in the performance of Carl Nielsen: Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra.
