The Pillars: Boston’s latest Italy-inspired musical project will kick off the West End Museum’s fifth annual celebration of Italian Heritage Month. Headed by Milan-native singer-songwriter Cristina Vaira along with guitarist Alejandro Ramirez Cisneros, the Pillars blend their Italian and Mexican heritages with the American culture and incredible international environment they’ve encountered as students at Berklee College of Music. The project’s mission is to create musical and filmic content that uplift people’s lives, based on the proverb: “If you want to go fast go alone, but if you want to go far go together.”

Their music is a mix of original songs and original arrangements in the style of Pop, Soul, Funk, Jazz, R&B and Latin
