American cellist Julie Albers is recognized for her superlative artistry, her charismatic and radiant performing style, and her intense musicianship. She made her major orchestral debut with the Cleveland Orchestra in 1998, and thereafter has performed in recital and with orchestras throughout North America, Europe, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, where she was named the first Gold Medal Laureate of the Gyeongnam International Music Competition. In 2001 she won Second Prize in Munich’s Internationalen Musikwettbewerbes der ARD, and was also awarded the Wilhelm-Weichsler-Musikpreis der Stadt Osnabruch. Recent performances have included debuts on the San Francisco Performances series and with the Grant Park Music Festival, where she performed Penderecki’s Concerto Grosso for Three Cellos with Mr. Penderecki conducting. In past seasons she has made concerto appearances with the orchestras of St. Paul, Colorado, Indianapolis, San Diego, Seattle, and Vancouver, and the Munchener Kammerorchester. In addition to solo performances, Ms. Albers is an active chamber musician. A former member of Chamber Music Society Two, she currently plays with the Albers String Trio and the Cortona Piano Trio. She holds the Mary Jean and Charles Yates Cello Chair at the McDuffie Center for Strings at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. She has recorded works by Rachmaninov, Beethoven, Schumann, Massenet, and Piatigorsky for the Artek Label, and solo and chamber music of Kodály for the Bavarian Radio. She performs on a N.F. Vuillaume cello made in 1872. Violinist Benjamin Beilman captured First Prize in the 2010 Montréal International Music Competition and the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York. His honors include a 2014 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship, a 2012 Avery Fisher Career Grant, and the 2012 London Music Masters Award. This season’s highlights include his Alice Tully Hall concerto debut with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s in the Young Concert Artists Series, as well as performances with the San Francisco Symphony and The Philadelphia Orchestra. He has performed as soloist with the New York Youth Symphony at Carnegie Hall, as well as with the London Philharmonic, L’Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal, the Zürich Tonhalle Orchestra, and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.

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 served as artistic administrator for more than ten years. In this latter capacity, he has led a variety of pre-concert 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. Mr. Castillo has been a guest lecturer at Fordham University, the Milwaukee Symphony, the Chamber Music Festival of the Bluegrass in Kentucky, ChamberFest Cleveland, and String Theory at the Hunter in Chattanooga, Tennessee, among others. From 2010 to 2013, he served as senior director of artistic planning for the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. The profound influence of pianist Gilbert Kalish as an educator and pianist in myriad performances and recordings has established him as a major figure in American music-making. In 2006 he was awarded the Peabody Medal by the Peabody Conservatory for his outstanding contributions to music in America. He was the pianist of the Boston Symphony Chamber Players for 30 years, and was a founding member of the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble, a group that flourished during the 1960s and 70s in support of new music. He is particularly known for his partnership of many years with mezzo-soprano Jan DeGaetani, as well as for current collaborations with soprano Dawn Upshaw and cellists Timothy Eddy and Joel Krosnick. As an educator and performer he has appeared at the Banff Centre, the Steans Institute at Ravinia, the Marlboro Music Festival, and Music@ Menlo; from 1985 to 1997 he served as chairman of the Tanglewood faculty. His discography of some 100 recordings embraces both the classical and contemporary repertories; of special note are those made with Ms. DeGaetani and that of Ives’ Concord Sonata. A distinguished professor at SUNY Stony Brook, Mr. Kalish has been performing with The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center since 2004.
