Desirée Essen   (Viola)

After a couple of years in the audience, Desirée finally surrendered to that nagging desire to dust off her old high school violin and joined VPOPS in 2018. Since then, a newer love for the viola has evolved. She feels she just can’t avoid being inspired by the Viola Gang’s unwavering drive and dedication! Desirée is humbly grateful for her family and friends’ loving support, and for the privilege of performing for all of you today.
