Juan Carlos Arciniega Carabalí

Born in Ibarra, Ecuador, in 1991, he has devoted his life to perfecting the art of the violin and sharing his passion for music. A graduate in Music and Sound Arts from Universidad Hemisferios, his training took shape from 2009 at the Ecuador Youth Symphony Orchestra Foundation (FOSJE), opening the way to a career marked by excellence and artistic commitment.

He has been a member of leading ensembles such as the Ecuador Youth Symphony Orchestra and the Ecuador Philharmonic Orchestra, and has performed at several editions of the Esmeraldas International Music Festival, establishing himself as an active figure on the national music scene.

His violin training has been guided by renowned teachers such as Freddy Jaramillo, Angélica Olivo, Dmitry Askerov and Robert Stepanian. He currently studies chamber music with maestro Eduardo Florencia and continues his development as a violinist with maestro Pawel Kopczynski.

Committed to training new generations of musicians, he devotes much of his time to teaching violin and music theory through Violín y Piano a Domicilio. In 2020, reaffirming his passion for cultural development, he founded Edition Testore, a publisher specialising in classical music that promotes previously unpublished works and brings the talent of Ecuadorian composers to international stages.

His artistic and teaching work makes him a vibrant and committed voice in his country's classical music.
