About

Originally from Southern California, Preston is a graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in viola performance and pedagogy at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He started on the violin at the age of 10 and made the transition to viola a few years later. He attended high school at the Orange County School of the Arts in Santa Ana, CA where he was able to gain valuable orchestral and chamber music experience. After high school, Preston attended Chapman University to study viola performance with Robert Becker and has performed in masterclasses with Richard O’Neill, the Juilliard String Quartet, the Kronos Quartet, and the Emerson String Quartet. Since graduating, Preston has performed semi-professionally as a section violist with the South Coast Symphony and the Lyric Opera of Orange County. In his free time, Preston likes to go on hikes, cook new recipes, and practice nature and portrait photography.
