GABRIEL SCHIRN was born in Berkeley, CA to two music-loving parents and began to study piano after he and his mother settled in Prescott, AZ in 2004. After fruitful years of study with Edward Roman in Prescott through high school, Gabriel began studies in piano at University of Arizona in 2015. Under the tutelage of Rex Woods and Fanya Lin at University of Arizona, and later Alexandra Nguyen and Margaret McDonald at University of Colorado Boulder, Gabriel has earned his Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance in 2020 and Master of Music in Collaborative Piano in 2022.

Returning to an unfinished double-degree in music and engineering, Gabriel completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering at University of Arizona in 2024. Now Gabriel is excited to serve the wider Tucson community as a keyboardist for the U of A Faculty/Staff Choir, the Salpointe Catholic High School Choir, the Tucson Girls Chorus, and the United Methodist Church of Green Valley and as a tutor at the Pima Community College Learning Center. In his spare time, Gabriel enjoys knitting, exploring new instruments, and spending time with friends.
