Caicedo’s distinguished career includes concerts with symphony orchestras and recitals in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Latin America where she is hailed by audiences and critics alike. As one reviewer noted, “Reflecting her deep emotional connection to the music, she interprets the repertory with extraordinary sensitivity and sweetness.”
She has recorded two CDs dedicated to the Latin American Art Song -- “To My Native City” (2005) and “Art Songs of Latin America” (2001)-- has collaborated on other CDs, and is preparing a new recording of Colombian art songs. Both CDs are available for purchase on this website. As a musicologist, Caicedo is internationally recognized as the leading expert in the study and performance of the Latin American art song, a tradition she has almost single-handedly rescued from extinction. Her pioneering book The Latin American Art Song: A Critical Anthology and Interpretive Guide for Singers was published in Barcelona. In January 2009 Mundo Arts Publications published her two new books title: The Colombian Art Song - Jaime León: Analysis and Compilation of his works for voice & piano Vol.1 & 2.
She is the founder and artistic director of the Barcelona Festival of Song, the only summer course and concert series focused on the study of the history and interpretation of the Latin American & Spanish Art Song repertoire. With her talent, knowledge, and determination to preserve an important part of the world’s musical heritage, Patricia Caicedo is indeed The Voice of the Latin American & Spanish Art Song.
Classes
An experienced voice teacher, Dr. Patricia Caicedo offers voice lessons to students of all skill levels and voice ranges at reasonable prices. She offers lessons in Barcelona & New York. If you are interested in classes visit http://www.voicebcn.com/ or write her to patricia@patriciacaicedo.com.
Because the singer’s instrument is his or her entire body, effective voice teaching must be a full-body-mind, integrated approach, and much more than a narrow technical approach focused exclusively on the vocal cords. Dr. Caicedo is an experienced performer and brings all of her experience to her teaching. Her training as a physician, classical singer and musicologist gives her a very unique set of tools to help the student achieve his or her goals.
In terms of teaching, Patricia has a wide range of experience with students of all levels. She specially enjoys working with beginners since she thinks the most important part of the training is just when the student is building the foundations of his/her technique. Each year she accepts students who come to Barcelona from different countries to study with her. Although her specialty is the Latin-American & Spanish Vocal repertoire, due to her vast experience she also trains singers in musical theater, opera, jazz and pop.
Patricia also works with people who are looking for opening their energy channels , people who learn how to sing as a way to improve their self confidence and people who believes in the power of music to heal their body and minds. Dr. Caicedo incorporates her knowledge of the human body and mind in their teaching and believes that the process of discovering the own voice is a process that brings spiritual and human growth. She is full member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS). She was invited to perform at the International Voice Teacher Convention held in Vancouver in August 2005 and presented a Poster paper in the same convention in 2010 in Paris.
