Izchel Chacón

Izchel (ee-CHELL) Chacón (she/her/ella) has been with SYSO almost 5 years. Izchel was previously SYSO's Manager of Education Programs, and this year will start her 2nd year as the Manager of Orchestra Operations. She looks forward to supporting families in the Academic Year Orchestra Program, and of course, SYSO Summer Music! Izchel studied Violin Performance at Cornish College of the Arts and received a Masters degree in Communications from Central Washington University. She has been playing violin for 24 years, and mariachi violin has had her heart for 22 of those years. When she's not gigging with her mariachi group, Izchel is crafting on her sewing machine and cricut, dabbling in graphic design, spending time with her dogs Cuachi and Chata, and watching holiday movies with her husband.
