David Eguiguren

David Eguiguren discovered his love of music at the age of four when his parents bought him a guitar.

Eighteen years later and more than 6,000 miles from his hometown of Quito, Ecuador, Mr. Eguiguren is graduating from Memorial University next week with a bachelor of music degree with a major in composition.

Le Phare

What happens when a lonely lighthouse decides to stop shining to make a new friend?

A School of Music-commissioned opera aims to answer just that.

Memorial University’s Opera Roadshow/Opéra en Tournée presented the world premiere performance of Le Phare, a new French-language children’s opera commissioned by the school’s Dr. Caroline Schiller and written by Québécois composer Laurence Jobidon and Ukrainian-Canadian librettist Maria Reva on April 29.

In May, the production took the story of light, friendship and teamwork to primary and elementary schools in the St. John's area and Central Newfoundland.
