Meet Enli
Enli Flores Pan (flute), 17, from Flushing, New York, is currently a senior at Benjamin Cardozo High School. She has performed on some of the nation’s most prestigious stages, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Eastman Theatre, and on Broadway, including performances with the New York Youth Symphony, the InterSchool Orchestras of New York Symphony Orchestra, and the New York All-State and All-City orchestra and bands. She has also performed in masterclasses at the DiMenna Center and The Juilliard School, further honing her craft under the guidance of world-class musicians.
A leader both on and off the stage, Enli serves as the principal chair in the wind ensemble at her high school. She has also worked as a leader in the Language Ambassadors Program at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. Her commitment to nurturing the next generation of musicians is evident in her work mentoring young artists at Third Street Music School Settlement. Active in community engagement, Enli has organized numerous community outreach performances in hospitals, nursing homes, and shelters across the city. Through Nido de Esperanza, she also co-founded a music education initiative for underprivileged children, teaching 200+ students in Queens, NY the basics of music theory and rhythm through storytelling.
Outside of music, Enli is an avid activist for immigrant rights and environmental initiatives, using her leadership skills to organize several teams of volunteers to uplift and empower immigrant women, children, and the sick. In addition, she has put her interest in coding to good use by developing a prototype language-learning app tailored to immigrant communities in New York City, using cultural context to teach vocabulary more effectively.
Receiving the Award will allow Enli to attend her first residential summer music program, as well as allow her to purchase a professional level flute that will carry her through college and into the professional field.
