Diego Espinoza Masias

I am an oboist, originally from Lima, Peru. I was recently featured in Out Voices magazine, discussing my experiences in the LGBTQ+ community and as a classical musician. I am an experienced performer internationally, playing in ensembles such as MusicaNova Orchestra in Phoenix, Bellevue Ballet and Seattle Music Inc. in Washington State, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Peru. I am particularly interested in contemporary music and electroacoustic works, and I have made it my mission to perform music by underrepresented composers. I have recently finished a Doctorate of Music in Oboe from Arizona State University. I currently work in audio production for Arizona PBS and hold degrees from the University of Washington and the National Conservatory of Music in Peru. My primary teachers include Martin Schuring, Mary Lynch, and Carlos Otárola.
