Laura Mazon, A Masters Guitarist Bags A First Ever Award Prize for the Music School Guitar Department

Coral Gables, Florida, USA – June 17th, 2017 –

University of Miami Frost School of Music which is a notable school of music having graduated leading musical talents, experienced a remarkable and historical achievement when one of its students represented the institution in a recently concluded New Orleans International Festival plus competition and emerged triumphant with a 2nd place prize. This turned out to be a historical event for the University as it is the first ever achievement received by a student from the Guitar department at the University’s School of Music.

The prize winner, Laura Mazon Franqui is a classical guitar performance Masters student at the Frost School of Music (University of Miami), an accomplished and experienced guitarist of Hispanic-Latino descent who arrived the United States from Cuba two years ago. Being the only female and minority in the competition, she stood out with feminist glory when she emerged second place in a male-dominated competition.

As a victorious moment which has engraved her name in the history of the Musical school, Laura Mazon uses her celebration of victory to empower all upcoming guitarist and female guitarists as she states. “I would like to encourage all the girls in this field that is most of the time male dominated to fight for what they believe in no matter how many NO’s they have to face.”

Given her career path as a musicologist, she envisions music as an art while she explains that “Art is my perspective of life, much more than a means of expression, it is my ultimate form of existence.”
