OSCAR LORENZO FERNANDEZ

Nasceu no Rio de Janeiro em 4 de novembro de 1897 e faleceu, aos 50 anos, em 27 de agosto de 1948. De ascendência espanhola, revelou sua natureza musical na juventude, tendo, em 1917, com 20 anos, entrado para o Instituto Nacional de Música e, já em 1923, substituía seu mestre na cátedra de Harmonia, Contraponto e Fuga.

Em 1922, obteve o 1ro, 2° e 3ro. prêmios num Concurso Nacional de Composição e, dois anos mais tarde, conquista o 1° prêmio num concurso internacional de música de Câmara, com o “Trio Brasileiro”, considerado uma das obras básicas da música brasileira.

Homem de grande espírito de coletividade, fundou em 1936 o Conservatório Brasileiro de Música, com mais cinco professores. Participou da fundação da Sociedade de Cultura Musical, da Academia Brasileira de Música e do Conservatório de Canto Orfeônico onde, por diversas ocasiões, substituiu Villa-Lobos na direção.

Também a revista Ilustração Musical, fundada em 1930 por Lorenzo Fernández, faz parte do seu idealismo empreendedor.

Lorenzo Fernândez recebeu no Brasil e no estrangeiro muitos títulos e honrarias. Em todos os aspectos da sua vida desenvolveu uma ativa consciência crítica da sua época, do Pais, da sua raça e da cultura. Sua obra como criador era pensada, trabalhada e burilada. Inspiração, conhecimento e reflexão crítica faziam parte da sua personalidade, marcada pela serena autoridade de suas atitudes no dia-a-dia.
