On February 13th, Roberto Clemente’s Media Program hosted its seventh musical showcase, Café Con Música. The event is led by media teacher Milton Tanco, a proud Clemente alumnus, and is fully produced and performed by students—either members of the media program or students from the school community.
Café Con Música provides students with the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience while giving media students hands-on experience producing a live event. From sound and lighting to stage management and promotion, students take an active role in every aspect of the production.
Experiences like these can spark lasting interests that grow into lifelong careers. Many program alumni have gone on to work in various areas of the media industry, and events like this ensure that future students continue to pursue their passions and develop into professionals.
