Belated congratulations to Javier Enrique Ferrer, 18, who was granted a scholarship and was accepted, to the prestigious Cleveland Institute of Music.
Ferrer, a tenor, is a former student of Oscar Diaz Jr ., at the PERFORMER'S MUSIC INSTITUTE here in Miami, where he studied voice and piano.
The young tenor also studied guitar and music theory at Miami Dade College North Campus Music Learning Center.
At Cleveland Institute, Ferrer continues his voice studies with internationally acclaimed tenor Vinson Cole.
Ferrer also received acceptance letters from the Manhattan School of Music, Boston Conservatory, New England Conservatory and the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University.
In addition, he was among only 18 finalists in the world to be selected beyond the first round of auditions at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music.
A warm Friends and Neighbors salute to Ferrer, who also has been a recipient of numerous first-place scholarship awards from the Miami Music Teachers’ Association.
I suspect we will be hearing a lot more from this talented young artist.
