Berklee will once again return to San Juan for the 17th annual Berklee in Puerto Rico Program.  Berklee in Puerto Rico is made possible with generous support from Berklee alumnus and Trustee Luis Alvarez ’83, vice president of Mendez & Company, Inc., and executive producer of the Puerto Rico Heineken JazzFest. In addition to helping coordinate the program, Alvarez and his corporation will donate $10,000 for the Mendez & Co. — Puerto Rico Heineken JazzFest Scholarship to be awarded at the end of the program.
