Berklee in Puerto Rico celebrated the close of its 24th edition with a concert featuring more than a dozen ensembles composed of program participants, and awarded more than $1.5 million in scholarships to 24 young musicians from the island. The scholarships range from $2,000 to $30,000 per student, and include undergraduate study at Berklee's Boston campus, Berklee Online classes, and opportunities to attend the Five-Week Summer Performance Program and participate in the Berklee Global Jazz Workshop at the Newport Jazz Festival.
Absolutely happy with the results, especially given the many difficulties we faced this year, said Luis Alvarez, founder of Make Music Happen Inc., who partnered with Berklee on this year's event. The significant financial assistance from Berklee confirms the institutions commitment to this noble program. We have already begun preparations for the 25th anniversary celebration with great enthusiasm and a sense of satisfaction for this years achievements.
This achievement represents 13 years of hard and steady work to reach the first part of my goal, said Diana Valentina Rodriguez, a 16-year-old flute player who received $30,000 to attend Berklee. It is with honor, humility, and great pride that I accept this new challenge that comes because I have demonstrated my commitment to music, my passion, and to my country that I will represent with dignity.
I am thankful to God, Make Music Happen, and Berklee College of Music for their unconditional support for our son in his passion for music and continuing with his academic training in drums, said David Rosado Cuba, father of David Antonio Rosado, who was invited to participate in the Berklee Global Jazz Workshop. I know the experience will be enriching for him.
Fundacion Banco Popular, presenter of Berklee in Puerto Rico, facilitated the use of the Plazoleta del Banco Popular in Hato Rey. The space welcomed over 500 family and friends of the 164 participating students for the concert and scholarship presentation.
