Join to this music performance as part of our Friday afternoon concerts in June that feature Berklee College of Music students playing a range of genres. 

Abram Alcantar (Al Cantar) is an artist, musician, & composer based in DFW, TX. As a multifaceted creative, he navigates sonic and visual worlds, blending them together to bring cultural memories and experiences together.

Most recently, he has been featured as a co-musical director, composer and performer for ViiV Healthcare's Luncheon : Sin Limites, an event dedicated to raising health awareness and education to the Hispanic/Latino community. As an artist, he has been featured in the Unidos Now Foundations 2025 Exhibition Nuestros Quince: 15 Years of Impact, raising funds with his paintings for Hispanic/Latino youth in higher education. His 10+ years of experience as a cellist have landed him performances with the renowned Berklee College Symphony Orchestra and Berklee Motion Picture Orchestra, and around the world in Lagos de Conciertos in Valencia, Spain.

Al Cantar’s fluency in the performing and visual arts grants him a unique lens to blur mediums, challenge definitions, and create otherworldly experiences as he brings a contemporary new sound and visuals in his featured works: I’ll Start a War- Keeme Tajudeen, Murky Water- Zagara Sims, Make Me A Tree- Chiara Elgold, Anxiety- Maggie Welch, and Exit- ZESI. Collaborations with artists has ultimately landed his career in Film Composition, the realized bridge between Abram’s connection to the performing and visual arts, and has been working on many short films with directors like Angel Orozco, and Shy Productions.

With a mission to uplift others, he expresses himself unforgivably and strives to be a representation for fellow queer first-generation immigrant Americans.
