Distinctions

In 2014, Mabel Teira from Cine Le Prince had the idea of making a documentary about my life, my artistic and teaching work: "Mónica Zubczuk, Passion for Music, Love for her Teaching".


It was a wonderful recognition and an incredible distinction that

it thrills me every time I remember it.


Words are not enough to give special thanks to Mabel, as well as to all those who worked in the recording, editing and photography.


Also, to the loved ones and so many affections who attended their presentations at the Conservatory and the Municipal Theater of Lomas de Zamora.


It was a job done with love, and without any financial gain.

For years, it was found for sale to the full benefit of the Cooperative Association of the Julián Aguirre Conservatory.
