Adriana Voirin Decosta is an Argentine-born violinist whose distinguished career spans nearly four decades with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra (FWSO).
A native of Argentina, Adriana immigrated to Texas at a young age. Her musical journey began under the guidance of her father, launching a lifelong dedication to the violin. She has served as Principal Second Violin of the FWSO for 38 years, bringing depth, warmth, and precision to one of the orchestra’s most vital sections. For three years during her tenure, she also performed as Assistant Concertmaster, further showcasing her leadership and versatility.
She speaks fondly of her role as Principal Second Violin: “I love the role and playing music that enhances and adds depth to the collective quality of the symphonic sound. I love hearing the orchestra from the inside out,” she says — a unique vantage point that allows her to support and propel the ensemble’s collective music making.
Prior to joining the FWSO, Adriana held prominent positions across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, including Concertmaster of the Irving Symphony, Principal Second Violin with the Dallas Opera and Dallas Ballet Orchestras, and Assistant Principal Second Violin of the Dallas Chamber Orchestra while also joining the Dallas SO for many symphonic programs and European tours. She also spent a decade working in Dallas recording studios, contributing her artistry to a wide range of projects.
A passionate chamber musician, Adriana was a founding member of the Wyeth Quartet, which was comprised of principal players from the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra.
Deeply committed to education, she finds great joy in mentoring and teaching young, talented, and curious musicians, nurturing the next generation of artists.
In addition to her musical accomplishments, Adriana has channeled her artistic sensibility into the visual realm. She is the founder of Orange Blossom Blooms, a thriving floral design studio where she creates beautiful, expressive arrangements that reflect her lifelong passion for artistry and beauty.
Through both music and flowers, Adriana Voirin Decosta continues to enrich her community with elegance, warmth, and dedication.
