My current orchestral commitment includes serving as an External Member in the first violin section of the Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes (UAA) Philharmonic Orchestra (OFUAA). This advanced role provides essential collegiate-level performance practice and professional development, as I contribute to the ensemble's regular concert schedule and academic mission within the UAA's Center for Arts and Culture.

The program includes an intense three-week summer training camp with expert faculty and culminates in a major national concert tour, frequently concluding at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. Selection for OSIM is recognized internationally as proof of elite technical and artistic ability. I have been selected twice, both times I was the youngest violinist, on my first year I was the principal of second violins and the second i was a first violinist (third stand)

Biography

Angélica Avila

I began my musical education at the age of three, launching 11 years of intensive classical music training that has established a robust foundation in both technical mastery and artistic interpretation. Currently, at the age of 14, I am deeply engaged in advanced study with my primary instructor, Gohar Zakaryan, and have also sought specialized mentorship from distinguished teacher Galina Sokolova.

My commitment to excellence is best reflected in my two consecutive years of selection to the prestigious Orquesta Sinfónica Infantil de México (OSIM). The OSIM is the premier national youth orchestra in Mexico, requiring the highest level of proficiency for selection. In both years of participation, I earned the distinct honor of being the youngest violinist in the section. This highly competitive placement led to key responsibilities within the ensemble, including Second Violin Principal (Year 1) and securing a competitive position as a First Violinist (Third Stand) (Year 2).

My repertoire demonstrates a dedication to both the foundational cornerstones and the major performance demands of the violin literature. My technical studies include the rigor of Rode’s Caprices and the expressive depth of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas. For solo showcases, I perform works like Sarasate’s vibrant Romanza Andaluza. Furthermore, I have developed and prepared major Romantic concerti, including the challenging works of Max Bruch and Mendelssohn.

Building upon my national experience, I maintain consistent, high-level orchestral practice. I am currently an External Member with the Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes (UAA) Philharmonic Orchestra (OFUAA), a role that provides crucial professional and collegiate-level performance practice. I have also expanded my ensemble versatility through participation in the Chamber Orchestra of the Arts University of Aguascalientes. Complementing this large-ensemble work, I continue to uphold an active and regular schedule of soloist engagements throughout Aguascalientes, México.
