Meet the performers for our THSO Presents chamber concert this Saturday on October 16!

Esteban Hernández Parra (he/him) became a musician thanks to his mother’s passion for music education, his father's dedication as an instrumentalist, his partner’s love for ethnomusicology, and the generosity of his students, family, teachers, friends, colleagues, and cats. His viola and violin students around the world are fundamental to him, Esteban continues learning with them through online interactions between Kenya, Colombia (where he is from), Dominican Republic, and the USA. He has performed with the Ensamble Barroco de Bogotá, the Orquesta Filarmónica de Bogotá, and the Bloomington Bach Cantata Project. He played G. Uribe-Holguín’s viola concerto as a soloist with the Orquesta Filarmónica de Medellín, and G.P. Telemann’s Violetta concerto with the IU Baroque Orchestra. In 2019 and 2020 he received the ICOPR Young Artist Fellowship to teach, perform, and engage in outreach activities throughout Puerto Rico. He has studied viola with Ricardo Hernández Mayorga (his father), Aníbal Dos Santos, Stanley Ritchie (baroque viola), Stephen Wyrczynski, and Karen Ritscher. He is pursuing a doctorate in viola performance with a music education minor at IU JSoM, mentored by Mark Holloway, Mimi Zweig, and Emilio Colón. Esteban currently researches on decolonial practices in viola pedagogy, he serves as acting principal viola of the Terre Haute Symphony for the 2021-22 season, makes part of the IU Mariachi Perla del Medio Oeste, and the Efferus String Quartet.
