ANA GONZALEZ

I was born and raised in Leon, Mexico. I have always been in love with the violin from a young age but I

didn’t have any formal training until the age of 14 when I moved to Canada and began my music studies

at the Mount Royal University Conservatory with Tobi Jurchuk. I was part of the Virtuosi Strings

program at Bishop Carroll High School and my musical career has flourished since. I have been part of

multiple music festivals including MusicFest where I was awarded the Stingray Emerging Artist Award,

Tuckamore Festival touring with my dearest friends across Newfoundland, and Prague Summer Nights

touring across Czech Republic with musicians from all over the world. In 2024 I attended the PRISMA

festival where I received orchestral training. I am now studying under Edmond Agopian’s guidance at

the University of Calgary where I am completing my Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance while

being a member of the first violin section of the UofC Orchestra and the Calgary Youth Orchestra.
