Gabriel Esperon, a master’s student in violin performance at The Herb Alpert School of Music, has been appointed as a Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen Resident Fellow for Fall 2025, the first sitting UCLA student to win a resident fellowship with the L.A. Philharmonic. Esperon will perform as a violinist in orchestral, chamber, and new music and educational outreach concerts at both the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl. The rigor and precision of working with an orchestra appeal to Esperon, and so does the camaraderie of the experience. “Playing with the L.A. Philharmonic is a dream come true, and I’m especially excited to be touring with them next season when they travel to Taiwan, Korea and Japan,” said Esperon.
