Violinist Arturo Delmoni, Concertmaster of the New York City Ballet, is one of the most celebrated artists of his generation. Mr. Delmoni has appeared as soloist with major symphony orchestras, including Dallas, St. Louis, Boston, and Los Angeles, and has performed chamber music with illustrious colleagues including Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zukerman, Emanuel Ax, Elmar Oliveira, Nathaniel Rosen, Jon Kimura Parker, Jeffrey Kahane, and Dudley Moore.

Violist Patricia McCarty’s performances on five continents have been acclaimed for communicating “a dark tone analogous to the quality of a fine tawny port” [Strad], & “the fine blue-flamed torch of her mind” [Ottawa Citizen]. Her recordings for Northeastern, ECM & Ashmont have received international accolades including Gramophone’s “Critics’ Choice” & Strad “Selection CD”. Former principal violist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, she is a faculty member of the Meadowmount School of Music.

Cellist Julia Lichten was a member of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra from 1995-2014, and has toured as soloist with Orpheus, Musicians from Marlboro, American Chamber Players and as Artistic Ambassador for the US State Department. Festival engagements have included those of Marlboro, Tanglewood, Taos, Library of Congress, Caramoor, Rockport, Chesapeake, and Rencontres Musicales d’Évian.

Cellist David Geber has been the recipient of numerous cello and chamber music awards, including the Naumburg Award and the Coleman Prize. He has appeared as soloist at Tanglewood and Aspen, as well as with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Montreal Symphony. As a founding member of the American String Quartet, he concertized with that ensemble for twenty-eight years, giving up to 100 concerts annually, and performing regularly in most major musical centers of the world.
