Gabriel Esperon, a master’s student in violin performance at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, has been appointed a Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen LA Phil Resident Fellow for fall 2025. As a fellow, Esperon will perform as a violinist in orchestral, chamber music, new music and educational outreach concerts at both Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl.
Esperon is the first sitting UCLA student to win a resident fellowship with the LA Philharmonic.
“Playing with the LA Philharmonic, a world-class orchestra, is a dream come true,” Esperon said. “I’m especially excited to be touring with the LA Phil next season when they travel to Taiwan, Korea and Japan.”
The LA Phil residence will offer Esperon the opportunity to continue orchestral playing at the highest level. He will work a minimum of 20 weeks.
