Enrique Espín Yépez (Quito, Ecuador, November 19, 1926 - Mexico, May 21, 1997, Son of Manuel María Espín) was an Ecuadorian composer and violinist. Born in Quito, he moved to Mexico in 1969, where he established himself as a professor of Violin at the National Conservatory of Mexico.[1] He was a student of Maestro Henryk Szeryng, who declared him heir of his technique. In December 1975 Szeryng bestowed Espín with a Ceruti violin, made in 1801, and Espín created the Henryk Szeryng International Violin Competition in Mexico in 1992.
