Brian Lewis has established himself as one of today's most versatile, talented, and charismatic young violinists. In addition to concerto debuts in both New York's Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall, he has appeared with the Berlin, Louisiana, Kansas City, Syracuse, Odense (Denmark), Wichita, Hartford, Eugene, Spokane, and American Symphony orchestras, among others.

Laura Kennedy has distinguished herself across the nation as a solo performer, accompanist, and chamber musician, and has been featured in all three capacities on NPR's Performance Today. She has performed with many chamber ensembles and solo performers, including performances throughout the United States with violinist Brian Lewis.

"There are a lot of fine violinists on the concert stage today, but few can match Lewis for an honest virtuosity that supremely serves the music . . . This is artistry that isn't to be missed."
-- Topeka Capital-Journal
