Artist bios: 

Alberto Puerto

Cuban American guitarist Alberto Puerto is known for his potent and sensitive interpretations of diverse repertoire. 

His artistic inquiry as a musician promotes improvisation and a lustrous freestyle, replete with musical colors and delightful, invigorating ambiances, always sustained by an enthralling interpretive technique, at once making his way in the fusion of classical music with Latin jazz, instrumental music, and Latin American music.

The reaches of Puerto's music, both sonically and conceptually, transcend the musical world to connect sound with other arts, ennobling the stage experience.
