Freddy Contreras

Viola

Can a standard string quartet have three violinists and a cello player? Well, turns out it can! - with some adjustments of course.

Freddy was musically raised in the “El Sistema”, youth orchestra program in Venezuela, before moving to the US to pursue higher education. He joined Kahlo in late 2019, fulfilling his dream to find like-minded peers to develop meaningful projects through chamber music.

Currently based in Philadelphia, Freddy holds a leadership position at Trenton Music Makers, an “El Sistema” inspired organization. He also runs a private teaching studio and performs with many ensembles in the area.

What about hobbies? Soccer, video games, whisk(e)y, and personal finance!
