Juan Pablo Contreras

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I started to play the Violin when I was 6 years old, I loved performing with my mother who was a concert pianist, and attending her concerts. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Winning the BMI William Schuman Prize and the Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Music. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Yes! I would like to write an Opera, to collaborate with the NYPHIL and LAPHIL, to conduct one of the top US orchestras and to record an album with a top Orchestra.
