Roberto Sierra is simply a man who loves to write music-"it is not a career, a job-it is a vocation, a passion-I love it." Even if there were no commission, no deadline, Roberto would be writing, spinning his colorful life affirming creations. "Every day I compose, I love to compose, it is not a choice." Roberto is the scion of a distinguished line of Latin American composers, heir to rhythms and colors that to cooler northern ears have an irresistibly exotic and warm character. He was born and grew up in Puerto Rico. However it was the years in Europe, principally London's Royal College of Music and with Ligeti in Hamburg that he discovered both the wider world of western music and that as a Puerto Rican he had a special place in it. Back, first in Puerto Rico and then in the United States (he holds the chair of composition at Cornell University) he found the two threads began to intertwine. His roots in Latin America and his subsequent identification with the west European tradition defined one another and his music gained strength and character from the fusion.
