Aparte de la performance del lunes 29, Céspedes está cerca de concretar al menos un par de espectáculos más, con grupos más pequeños y en otros escenarios de la ciudad estadounidense.
Repertorio "Para mí es una alegría poder tocar en el exterior y por eso he preparado un repertorio internacional, pero con una obra mía que muestra una completa faceta del altiplano boliviano".Luego de El vals triste de Cibelius y Simple sinfonía de Briten, el maestro cochabambino prevé interpretar El amauta, "un trabajo que incluye poesía en aymara, que será declamada por Willy Flores y que consta de cinco partes: Hombre aymara, Achachila, Llamas, Pachamama y Wiphala".

UW Symphony Students Travel to Bolivia for Cultural Music Exchange
March 6, 2007 --
For only $50 each, members of the University of Wyoming Symphony Orchestra (UWSO) will use spring break to share Western classical music with South American youths. During UW's spring break (March 10-18), the symphony will give five performances in Bolivia. "The symphony has received incredible support from the university administration and from many individuals and Laramie businesses for our first international music exchange," says Michael Griffith, director of orchestral activities and UWSO conductor. UWSO's international spring break is the cumulating event for this year's cultural exchange between UW and Bolivia's musical community. Stephan Barnhart, professor of percussion in UW's Department of Music, made the initial contact at Christmas when he joined UW violin professors Naomi Gjevre and Javier Pinell, a Bolivian native, in the country's capital, La Paz. Over UW's winter break, the trio conducted music clinics in El Alto, a community outside of La Paz. In January UW hosted a symphony performance featuring Bolivian musicians Fredy Cespedes, concertmaster of the Bolivian National Symphony Orchestra; Juan Jose Choque, percussionist and bass player for the Municipal Orchestra of El Alto; and Willy Flores, declamation teacher at the Municipal School of the Arts in El Alto.

UW Chamber Orchestra Launches Bolivian Cultural Exchange
Jan. 24, 2007 -- A cultural exchange program among musicians from the University of Wyoming and Bolivia will be showcased this spring. The UW Symphony Orchestras (UWSO) and the musical community of Bolivia will exchange performances that will culminate in the UWSO traveling to La Paz during spring break. The UW Chamber Orchestra will host a musical event Monday, Jan. 29, at 7:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center concert hall. Fredy Cespedes, concertmaster of the Bolivian National Symphony Orchestra for more than 30 years and conductor of the Municipal Orchestra of El Alto, will be the guest conductor. Native percussionist Juan Jose Choque and narrator Willy Flores, traveling with Cespedes, also will be featured. Cespedes' own "El Amauta," a work based on a Bolivian story for narration, will be featured along with UW's music Professor Rod Garnett, on flute solo. The UW pan-pipe ensemble Sikuris de Wyoming will fill the role of native folk instrumentalists. Cespedes has chosen the "Simple Symphony" of Benjamin Britten, Aaron Copland's "Quiet City for Trumpet, English Horn, and Strings," and Sibelius' "Valse Triste." UW faculty members Thomas Pfotenhauer, trumpet, and Lindsey Bird Reynolds, English horn, will be featured in the Copland piece. Following intermission will be a suite from Bizet's opera "Carmen," with a version scored only for percussion and strings by the Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin. "The audience will hear music by American, Bolivian, English, Finnish, French and Russian composers, with a Bolivian conductor, Bolivian and American soloists and an orchestra with students from Wyoming, many other places in the United States, and Armenia, the Netherlands, Korea and Mexico," says UWSO Music Director Michael Griffith. "Truly, music is an international undertaking." The first phase of the cultural exchange came when Stephen Barnhart, UW professor of percussion, joined violin professors Javier Pinell and Naomi Gjevre for Christmas in La Paz. Pinell grew up in La Paz and made the initial contact that led to the exchange program. The Bolivian contingent will attend UW music department classes during the visit.
