The government of El Salvador on Tuesday donated a copy of the musical score of the country’s national anthem to the Organization of American States’ (OAS) Columbus Memorial Library. The move was part of a hemispheric initiative to promote cultural development of the peoples of the Americas.
El Salvador’s Permanent Representative to the OAS, Ambassador Abigail Castro de Pérez, noted her government’s interest in the Columbus Memorial Library as depository for its National Anthem, calling it a “symbol of our destiny as well as our past and present democracy and development.”
During the ceremony at OAS headquarters, Assistant Secretary General Luigi Einaudi underscored the significance of 13 year-old Salvadorian Silvanna Laínez presenting the score to the Director of the Library, Beverly Wharton-Lake, on behalf of the youth of her country. "The youth are our future, but they are also our present,” declared Einaudi as he noted the role of culture in building inter-generational and people-to-people bridges.
Meanwhile, Julio César Rodríguez Paredes, Director of El Salvador’s Acoustic Form School of Music, spoke about the sense of pride derived from spending a week in Washington with 10 youngsters from the orchestra. The Salvadorian musicians joined an International Youth Symphony Orchestra that brought together youngsters from 15 OAS member and observer countries in a concert later that Tuesday evening, to mark Venezuela’s national day.
