Piano keys danced, drums pulsed, guitar chords rang and powerful vocals echoed through the indoor arena at Boston Calling Music Festival from May 23 to 25 as Berklee College of Music students took over the Arena Stage.

After Berklee recently partnered with Boston Calling, students at the University brought their talents to the festival for the first time to showcase “the next generation of jazz and beyond.”

Berklee freshman Su Yavuz, an R&B jazz singer and pianist, made history as one of the youngest Berklee students to perform at Boston Calling this year. Yavuz began playing piano when she was 10 years old.

“As a first-year at Berklee, I wouldn’t have thought that I’d be here,” Yavuz said.

The 19-year-old from Istanbul, Turkey, performed all three days of Boston Calling, with the entirety of her set arranged by herself and her band.

Unlike other students, Yavuz didn’t audition. Instead, Berklee reached out to her after a video of her transcribing a piano solo by ear went viral on Instagram.

After Boston Calling, she said she plans to release original music and put out an album.

Yavuz wasn’t the only Berklee jazz pianist to perform this weekend.

Composer and pianist Srisley, a recent Berklee graduate, took the stage with her bandmates, bassist Ludwig Icaguirre and substitute drummer Gudy Prada, to perform jazz inspired by Latin American music. The band has been together for approximately two years.

Srisley landed the opportunity by filling out a Google Form and submitting three videos, she said.

Once selected to perform, Srisley said she and her band practiced every week until the show. After paperwork complications rendered the band’s regular drummer unable to perform, Prada stepped in and learned every “repertoire” in the band’s set within four days, Srisley said.

During her Boston Calling performance, Srisley played one of her original tracks, “Cucaracha,” a song she wrote about an encounter with a cockroach in her kitchen.

The band members expressed gratitude for their hard work paying off.

“I had so much fun playing with them, and it was very meaningful as well,” Icaguirre said. “I feel like musically, it was emotional for me.”

After the festival, Srisley said she plans to return to Korea and release an album.

Like Srisley, R&B soul artist Aniyé — known onstage as “your favorite soul sister,” — is a recent Berklee graduate who also submitted her festival audition through Berklee’s website.

“My sound is deeply rooted in soulfulness,” Aniyé, hailing from Miami, Florida, said. “But, you can get a little bit of everything at my performance.”

One of her goals for the performance was to have “seamless transitions” between each of her songs, Aniyé said.

She released an EP titled “Ya Favorite Soul Sistah,” May 18 — just five days before taking the stage at the festival.

Aniyé credited Berklee for helping her music grow on a technical level. She said she gained inspiration from her peers for all parts of a show production, not just the music.

Berklee’s presence at Boston Calling marked a new chapter for both the college and the festival.

“I was very inspired by [my peers] to grow in vision and to be a visionary, to look at the bigger picture and the aesthetics and everything else that goes into artistry,” she said.
