Academics
With an array of undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as summer, international, and precollege offerings, Berklee College of Music provides options for students of all levels to explore and achieve their artistic, academic, and career potential.
The week included a panel discussion on modern Mediterranean music and a tribute to Cuban pianist Bebo Valdes featuring three young female pianists. The label also hosted a New York–themed songwriting contest for students, which garnered entries of various styles inspired by the city. Berklee student Martin Guas, the contest winner, earned the chance to have his original song recorded by Limón. The Casa Limón Gala, supported by the Spanish consulate, featured new musical projects with a host of Berklee student and alumni musicians.
Venezuelan vocalist Nella Rojas B.M. '15 performed a selection of songs composed by Limón for the upcoming film Everybody Knows. The film, directed and produced by Asghar Farhadi, includes Penélope Cruz, Javier Bardem, and Ricardo Darín. Rojas has a cameo in the film, and performed several of the songs with Limón and a live band.
