PORFI
My name is Porfirio but everyone calls me Porfi. I started volunteering with WHCO because the music is terrific, the concerts were free, and I wanted to give back. I saw how it unified the community. My favorite thing about WHCO is the positive vibe and how everyone is welcome. It put "the heights" on the music scene map! I've been in "the arts" my whole life. I believe "the arts" keep our hearts and communities alive. Music connects our human spirit!
