About this user

Juan Miguel Hernandez is widely regarded as one of the finest young viola talents of his generation. In September 2009, Juan-Miguel won the first Prize at the 16th International Johannes Brahms Competition in Austria, adding to other top prizes won at the National Canadian Music Competition, and the 9th National Sphinx Competition in 2006, presented by JPMorgan Chase. As a featured guest soloist, Juan-Miguel has appeared with the Atlanta, Seattle and Colorado Symphonies, as well as the Rochester Philharmonic. Performances in recent seasons have brought Juan-Miguel on tour throughout Europe, the Middle East, Mexico, Canada and the United States.
Juan-Miguel has collaborated with distinguished artists such as Itzhak Perlman, Lynn Harrell, Robert Spano, Paul Coletti, Robert Chen, Ronald Leonard, Paul Katz and Yehonatan Berick. Recent festival appearances include the Salzburg Festival, Banff Music Festival (Alberta), Domaine Forget (Quebec), the Colorado Springs Music Festival, Sarasota Music Festival, the Perlman Music Program and the I Palpiti International Laureates Music Festival. For the past three summers, Juan-Miguel has served as a senior faculty member at the Sphinx Performance Academy at the Walnut Hill School (Massachusetts).

A dedicated chamber musician, Juan-Miguel is a founding member of the Harlem Quartet, a group comprised of past Sphinx Competition winners. The Quartet has performed in various prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, where the group already appeared four times. In December 2008 the quartet performed at the National Library of Congress in Washington D.C. on Stradivarius instruments from the Library's collection, alongside guest cellist Carter Brey. The Harlem Quartet's music videos, distributed through YouTube, and featuring an eclectic mix of musical styles, have become a viral sensation for the ensemble.

On radio airwaves and television broadcasts, Juan-Miguel has been heard and seen on nationally-syndicated programs throughout Canada, and the United States. His discography includes both a solo recording and a quartet CD, both released on the White Pine Music label. Juan-Miguel's forthcoming recordings include an all-Piston quartet disc, performed by the Harlem Quartet, to be released on the prominent Naxos label.

Juan-Miguel Hernandez was born in Montreal, Canada in 1985. He began studying the violin at age seven and viola at age twelve. He has studied at the Pierre-Laporte Music High School and the Vincent-D'Indy College in Montreal with Madeleine Mercy and Jean MacRae. He is currently finishing his studies with Paul Coletti at the Colburn Conservatory of Music. He has performed in master classes before Pinchas Zukerman, Roberto Diaz, Paul Neubauer, Steven Dann, James Dunham, Barbara Westphal and Robert Vernon. Juan-Miguel Hernandez plays on a 2008 Miralles instrument on loan from the Maestro Foundation and generously sponsored by Ron and Pat Lebel.
