Jorge's forceful, expressive mastery of the violin has delighted audiences around the globe.

He has dedicated his talents to sharing the love of God through sacred and classical concerts and special appearances the world over.

Born in Cuba in 1970, Jaime began violin studies at age 5.

When he was 10, Jaime's family immigrated to the United States and he began lessons with the eminent violinist Cyrus Forough, a student of the great David Oistrakh.

Jorge's mother wanted him to be a violinist, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary doctor.

When he entered the University of Illinois in 1988, he began to take all the pre-med courses for preparation to attend medical school.

In 1992, Jorge was accepted into the University of Illinois Medical School.

In his second year of medical school, Jorge felt called to begin a life of service dedicated to music ministry.
