Welcome to Numa Tortolero's Home Page

Here you'll can find information about philosophy and history of music.

My name is Numa Tortolero. I live in Caracas, Venezuela, where I was born in 1962. I studied philosophy in Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV), where I got the diplome of "Licenciado en Filosofía" in 1995. I too studied musical composition in Conservatorio Juan José Landaeta, where I got the diplome of "Maestro Compositor" in 1994. I've been teacher of contemporary philosophy in the Philosophy School of UCV, and I've teached history of music in the Art School of the same university. I've realiced some works in musicology, and  I belong to the redaction committee of a literary essays rewiew: Umbrales.
