“Javier’s patience and presence on the podium are unmatched. As a leader and conductor, he is truly inspiring. His musicianship and boldness help create a streamlined method in his teaching ability, something that I have not seen before in these environments. Javier seeks new opportunities that will challenge him to rise above his comfort zone.”
David Sabella - Percussion, Penn State Philharmonic Orchestra
“Javier is a wonderful balance of focus and charisma. He had faith in the orchestra when we did not in ourselves and pushed us to play repertoire beyond what we thought was possible for our skill level. Even when a rehearsal was very challenging, Javier was always a ray of sunshine, making everything a little brighter and the environment more enjoyable.”
Phoenix Romero — Viola, Penn State Campus Orchestra
