Librado Net Pérez (1895-1964) was a Puerto Rican musician, educator and painter from Ponce, Puerto Rico. He was the first director of the Escuela Libre de Música de Ponce, considered the best of Puerto Rico's free Music Schools at the time. He directed the school from the early 1950s and continuing until just prior to his death in 1964.
Librado Net was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, on 17 August 1895. His parents were Ramón Net Santiago and Sofía Pérez Torres. He was introduced to music by his mother. He was a student of Arístides Chavier, Domingo Cruz "Cocolia" and Castro Pérez. In the art of painting, he was a student of Miguel Pou, and among his own painting students was Epifanio Irizarry. In architecture he studied with Alfredo Wiechers, who taught him to work with watercolors and tapestry.
From a very young age he showed dexterity in leadership and talent in orchestral organization and in the interpretation of musical works via the flute, and the violin. In the 1920s he lived in the United States where he studied music with Jean Bedetti. He married sculptor Eugene Batiste, and had a son, Roberto. Librado Net was the first director of the Escuela Libre de Música de Ponce (Ponce Free School of Music), starting in the 1950s and continued as such until just prior to his death. He was better known for his musical skills than his other artistic interests.
Librado Net worked with Ernesto Ramos Antonini from the planning to the implementation phases of Puerto Rico's three free schools of music in San Juan, Ponce, and Mayaguez. The schools were inaugurated on 1 December 1946. Thanks to the work of Net, it is said that "the Ponce Free School of Music was the most outstanding." He became the first director of the Instituto de Música Juan Morel Campos.
