Highlights the talent of our youth from the Orquestas and Coros Network, we have mentioned Amilcar Castillo, who has been playing the cello for five years and currently a member of the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra. He has been privileged to participate in two editions of the Multinational Workshop of Iberand Lutheria in El Salvador, in 2023 and 2024, and has been an expert in the repair of musical instruments.

Castillo has 19 years old, also plays the piano and outside his musical atmosphere, she's studying an Industrial Mechanics degree at the University of Technology of Panama, "my dream is to become a professional luthier and contribute to the musical development of Panama, offering quality tools to youth and adults who need it."

That young talent, which also has the virtue to play the piano, shares his joy with his partners at La Red to do good music and hopes for a future where more people can have access to good tools, "I continue to learn every day with the conviction that music and lutheria are ways that transform lives."

"I thank first and foremost God and my family, especially my parents Amilcar Castillo and Griselda de Castillo, who have always supported me at every step of my way. I also thank the Ministry of Culture, the Network of Orchestra and Youth Choirs of Panama, which has given me an opportunity to grow as a musician, and my teachers, partners and friends," said Castillo.

Electra Castillo, director of Panama's Network of Orchestra and Youth Choirs, said that "Amilcar was chosen to study El Salvador for his dedicated and performing his instrument, his great sense of responsibility for his commitments."
