Juan ardila's Education Fund

(Soloist performance with the Longy Conservatory Orchestra, Feb 2016) 

Hello Everyone!

I've started this fund raiser campaign because I've been facing very difficult economical circumstances during my studies here in the United States. I owe more than 10k to my school that are due immediately. I will need to pay this in order to continue my studies in the united states.

Here is a little bit about me and my professional carrer so far: 

Juan Diego Ardila Blandon

Born in Popayan, Colombia, Started his studies in Bogota at the Conservatory of the National University of Colombia. Juan Diego was an active member in the National Wind Band movement in Colombia. He was Eb clarinet of the "Banda Sinfonica Juvenil de Cundinamarca" and Assistant concertmaster of the "Banda Sinfonica Escuela Municipal de Artes de Chia" winning many competitions national and internationally (WMC Kekrade, Netherlands. Silver Medal Prize 2013).

He has performed as a soloist in Colombia with the "Collegium Musicum" Orchestra, "Banda Sinfonica Escuela Municipal de Artes de Chia", "Banda Sinfonica Juvenil de Cundinamarca", and recently in the United states with the Longy School of music of Bard College Orchestra.

Principal clarinet of "Symphony Pro Musica" Orchestra.
