Nestor will be participating once again at the prestigious Conference On World Affairs from April 5 through April 9^th, 2010. Hosted by the University of Colorado in Boulder, the Conference on World Affairs, originally founded in 1948 as a forum on international affairs, expanded rapidly in its early years to encompass the arts, media, science, diplomacy, technology, environment, spirituality, politics, business, medicine, human rights, and so on. Roger Ebert, who has participated in the CWA for four decades, refers to the CWA as “the Conference on Everything Conceivable.” Each April 100 participants representing a wide range of backgrounds gather in Boulder for what The New York Times calls “a week-long extravaganza of discussion and debate” on approximately 200 panels, plenaries and performances. Conference participants discuss issues on an impromptu basis—a refreshing alternative to the specialized gatherings of academia and the business world. Molly Ivins, a frequent participant over 25 years, wrote that CWA offers “whole new ways of looking at old questions and information that can transform the way you look at things.” Ebert says, “Why is this week like lifeblood for me? Once we settle into our life’s careers, most of us charge the line with our heads down. I have a tendency, for example, to think the world revolves around movies. Once a year at the Conference, I am forced to think on subjects not of my own choosing. I get to talk to people from other worlds.”Nestor will share the stage at the Mackie Auditorium on Tuesday April 6 with Dave Grusin, JustoAlmario, Bijoux Barbosa, Rony Barrak, Charlie Bisharat, Lillian Boutté, Oscar Castro-Neves, Brad Goode, Don Grusin, Mike Marlier, Shodekeh, & Tjupurru. “It is a tremendous honor and a great joy to be part of this yearly event, not only as an artist sharing the stage with such a distinguished and diverse group of artists, but as a panelist and lecturer as well”.
