Benjamin Silva
Guitarist Benjamin Silva comes from a musical
family. He is the grandson of the renowned
cellist Luigi Silva, and a laureate of numerous
guitar competitions including the MTNA, Sholin,
and Stotsenberg among others.
Silva has performed for audiences across the
United States and Spain. Recent appearances
include concert series in New Mexico, Arizona,
California, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah,
Washington, D.C., and Santiago de Compostela.
Silva’s most influential teachers include Thomas
Patterson, Michael Chapdelaine, Richard Hermann,
the Indian sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan,

Andres Segovia).
He is currently on the music faculties of the
Public Academy for Performing Arts, the New
Mexico School of Music, and the University of
New Mexico Music Prep School. Artistic quality
and craftsmanship are attributes that Silva
strives for in his teaching and as a result his
students have garnered prizes in several
contests including, most recently, the “Hey,
Mozart” competition for young composers under 12
years old. |

The Three Burials of Mequiades
Estrada
As the title implies, Three Burials is a movie
about death, but, more than that, it’s a movie
about friendship, grace, justice, and above all
redemption. Tommy Lee Jones directs and stars as
Pete, a rugged Texas cowboy who’s hard up for a
new hand to help him with his daily chores. Help
comes in the form of Melquiades (Julio Cedillo),
a Mexican alien looking for work to help support
his wife and three kids. Mel promises to work
hard, Pete promises not to turn him in to border
patrol, and the two become intimate friends.
Jones took the Best Actor award at the Cannes
Film Festival for his performance, and
screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga (Amores Perros,
21 Grams) also won for his screenplay. |
