His ensembles, such as the Esteban Herrera Trio, Quintet, and Calgary Latin Orchestra, showcase his versatility as both a pianist and a composer, moving seamlessly from intimate contemporary jazz to large-scale Latin orchestral projects.
In addition to his performing career, Esteban is a dedicated educator. He has taught piano for over 15 years, currently working with students at Long & McQuade lesson centres in Calgary, and is also a clinician for the Mount Royal University Conservatory and the Calgary Catholic Board of Education.
