Born into a family of musicians, she grew up surrounded by instruments, rehearsals, and concerts, which sparked her early interest in orchestral music. She began studying the violin at the age of six at the José Luis Paz Conservatory in her hometown, part of El Sistema (The National Network of Youth and Children Orchestras of Venezuela). During her childhood and adolescence, she was a member of several ensembles, including the Maracaibo Centro Children’s Orchestra and later the Sinfónica de la Juventud Zuliana Rafael Urdaneta. In 2018, Brenda moved to Ecuador, where she worked as a violin teacher and served as concertmaster in several symphony orchestras. She pursued her academic studies at the University of the Arts (Universidad de las Artes) in the School of Musical Arts from 2020 to 2022. In 2022, she relocated to the United States to continue her higher education in violin performance. She is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Music with a concentration in Performance at the University of North Georgia. Brenda currently teaches violin in the state of Georgia and performs as a violinist with the Gwinnett Symphony Orchestra.
