Berklee College of Music Goes to Spain

The best-known American school for jazz and contemporary music has just opened a campus overseas in Spain. The Boston-based Berklee College of Music is sinking musical roots in Valencia, along the Mediterranean coast. There, it hopes to create a first of its kind center of learning and fusion for music from the Mediterranean and beyond. The World’s Gerry Hadden sat in some of the first classes.
