In several classical music concerts, both in Palace of Fine Arts and in the Sala Nezahualcoyotl (concert halls more frequently to attend) when any of the compositions played by Eugenio Toussaint, especially when some of the symphony orchestra presented the world premiere of his work, there he was, jovial, stylish with a yellow bag or some other bright color, to receive the applause of the audience, musicians and directors. I remember with excitement when it opened in 1993, the Suite of Sciences, the work "commissioned by the National Autonomous University of Mexico" on the occasion of the inauguration of Universum, the Science Museum at UNAM. It was quite an event.
's always very gratifying to know that among those attending a concert is the composer and that is generally very kind to those who come to ask for autographs or just to shake his hand.
bring to this desktop memory of Eugenio Toussaint, with this article published by the newspaper La Jornada of October 9, 2008, in announcing the presentation of his album Oinos, music to drink wine.
