Cellist Colin Carr appears throughout the world as a soloist, chamber musician, recording artist, and teacher. He has played with major orchestras worldwide, including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London’s Philharmonia, Royal Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, the orchestras of Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, Philadelphia, Montréal, and all the major orchestras of Australia and New Zealand. 2013 saw the release of two major new recordings: Beethoven’s complete works for cello and piano with his duo partner Thomas Sauer on the MSR label and the complete Bach Suites from live concerts at the Wigmore Hall in London on the Wigmore Live label. His recordings for GM of the unaccompanied cello works of Kodály, Britten, Crumb, and Schuller are highly acclaimed, as is his recent recording of the complete cello/piano works of Mendelssohn with Thomas Sauer on Cello Classics. As a member of the Golub-Kaplan-Carr Trio, he recorded and toured extensively for 20 years. In 2012 he recorded the string sextets of Schoenberg and Tchaikovsky with the Emerson String Quartet and Paul Neubauer. He is the winner of many prestigious awards, including First Prize in the Naumburg Competition, the Gregor Piatigorsky Memorial Award, and Second Prize in the Rostropovich International Cello Competition and the Young Concert Artists competition.

In 1998, he was made a professor at the Royal Academy of Music and St. John’s College, Oxford, created the post of “Musician in Residence” for him. In September 2002 he became a professor at Stony Brook University in New York.

Mr. Carr’s cello was made by Matteo Gofriller in Venice in 1730.

Patrick Castillo leads a multifaceted career as a composer, performer, writer, and educator. His music has been featured at festivals and venues throughout the United States and internationally including Spoleto Festival USA, June in Buffalo, the Santa Fe New Music Festival, Interlochen Center for the Arts, Berklee College of Music, Tenri Cultural Institute, Bavarian Academy of Music in Munich, and Nuremberg Museum of Contemporary Art. He is variously active as an explicator of music to a wide range of listeners. He has provided liner and program notes for numerous recording labels and concert series: most prolifically for Music@Menlo, a chamber music festival and institute in Silicon Valley for which he also serves as artistic administrator. In this latter capacity, he has led a variety of preconcert discussion events; designed outreach presentations for middle and high school students; and authored, narrated, and produced the widely acclaimed AudioNotes series of listener’s guides to the chamber music literature.

His writing credits also include New York City Opera’s musical introduction to Emmanuel Chabrier’s L’Étoile, a live presentation for young listeners featuring full orchestra and soloists.

Mr. Castillo has been a guest lecturer at Fordham University, the Chamber Music Festival of the Bluegrass in Kentucky, ChamberFest Cleveland, and String Theory at the Hunter in Chattanooga, Tennessee. From 2010 to 2013, he served as senior director of artistic planning for the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.

Chosen by the Boston Globe as one of the Superior Pianists of the Year and

described by that newspaper as one “…who appears to excel in everything,” pianist Gloria Chien made her orchestral debut at the age of 16 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

She has presented recitals at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Jordan Hall, Harvard Musical Association, Caramoor Musical Festival, Verbier Festival, Salle Cortot in Paris, and the National Concert Hall in Taiwan. An avid chamber musician, she has been the resident pianist with the Chameleon Arts Ensemble of Boston since 2000. She has recorded for Chandos Records, and recently released a CD with clarinetist Anthony McGill. In 2009 she launched String Theory, a chamber music series at the Hunter Museum of American Art in downtown Chattanooga, as its founder and artistic director, and the following year she was appointed director of the Chamber Music Institute at the Music@ Menlo festival. A native of Taiwan, Ms. Chien is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, where she was a student of Russell Sherman and Wha-Kyung Byun.

Hailed as an “outstanding violist” by American Record Guide, and praised by Zürich’s Neue Zürcher Zeitung for his “warmth and intimacy,” he has recorded for the Marlboro Recording Society, CMS Live, Music@ Menlo LIVE, Naxos, and Albany labels.

A former member of Chamber Music Society Two and a current Artist of the Society, Mr. Holloway was a student of Michael Tree at The Curtis Institute of Music and received his bachelor’s degree from Boston University.

Violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky has performed with the Netherlands Philharmonic, London’s Philharmonia, Royal Philharmonic, Konzerthaus Orchester Berlin, Tucson Symphony Orchestra, St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra, Greensboro Symphony, London Mozart Players, and Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. This season, he makes return appearances with the Netherlands Philharmonic and the Royal Philharmonic as well as making debuts

in Lithuania, Macedonia, and with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. He will also be returning to various orchestras and festivals in the UK, Europe, and Japan. He has shared the stage with Julia Fischer, Janine Jansen, Misha Maisky, Polina Leschenko, and Julian Rachlin. He has recorded for Angel/ EMI, Decca, and Orfeo including a recording of the Bach Double Concerto with Julia Fischer. Together with Wu Qian and cellist Leonard Elschenbroich, he performs in the Sitkovetsky Piano Trio, regularly appearing in England at Wigmore Hall and all around the country and across Europe in halls such as Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and the Frankfurt Alte Oper. Born in Moscow into a family with an established musical tradition, he made his concerto debut at the age of eight and the same year came to study at the Menuhin School. Lord Menuhin was his inspiration throughout his school years and they performed together on several occasions including the Bach Double Concerto, Bartók Duos at St James’ Palace, and he performed the Mendelssohn Concerto under Menuhin’s baton. Mr. Sitkovetsky is a member of Chamber Music Society Two. Named the 2011 “Young Artist of the Year” by the National Critics Association of Music and Drama in Greece, Greek violinist Areta Zhulla is quickly

establishing herself as a dynamic and passionate artist. She has performed at many renowned venues such as Carnegie Hall, Auditorium du Louvre, Alice Tully Hall, Kennedy Center, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and National Arts Centre of Canada.
