The sixth edition of Berklee in Santo Domingo concluded on a high note, awarding 29 full scholarships valued at US$3 million to 203 young Dominican musicians. The scholarships will allow the recipients to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held at the National Conservatory of Music from 6-11 January 2025, the program ended with an emotional closing ceremony at the Manuel Rueda Hall.
