The Puerto Rico Music Conservatory has invited Flautist Nestor Torres to spend the week of February 8th through February 12th 2010 as part of their Artist in Residence Program. Throughout the week he will be teaching Master Classes for flutists and Jazz students, coach Jazz ensembles and the Conservatory’s Flute Choir, as well as individual lessons for a select group of students. Additionally, Mr. Torres will hold a ‘Conversatorio’; an open conversation with the entire Conservatory’s student body, which will be open to the public. Torres’ Residency will conclude with a special participation performing with the students of the Flute Choir and rhythm section featuring the students of the Jazz and Caribbean Studies Department.

“To say that I am thrilled to be able to spend a week in Puerto Rico with some of the most talented young musicians in the Americas is an understatement. My and passion and commitment to young people and education is the driving force that drives my work and fuels my inspiration. I look forward to spending time and giving the best of my knowledge, wisdom and experience to the students of El Conservatorio”.
