In November 2025, I was unexpectedly tagged on Instagram in a performance of one of my children’s violin pieces — a surprise that moved me. Violist Francisco Esparza created a new arrangement of my Children’s Piece No. 1 for viola quartet, which was performed in Sala Silvestre Revueltas in Tlalpan, Mexico City on November 4, 2025.

The performance featured:

Viola 1 — Francisco Esparza
Viola 2 — Montserrat Plácido
Viola 3 — Saúl Ríos
Viola 4 — Jonathan Coronel

What made this especially meaningful to me was that the original work was written for beginner violin students, and hearing it transformed into a viola quartet in a completely new context was both unexpected and deeply touching. I was honored that Francisco chose to arrange and perform the piece alongside the Bartók Viola Concerto with the Orquesta Sinfónica Juvenil Ollin Yoliztli in Mexico City.

I’ve also included the full concert video featuring the Bartók Viola Concerto and the surrounding program to share the broader musical context of the performance and highlight the wonderful work of the performers and ensemble. I’m deeply grateful to have my music included alongside such a program and encourage listeners to experience the full concert.

My sincere thanks to Francisco and the ensemble for sharing and bringing new life to my music.
