MEET THE MUSICIANS
STEPHANIE LINDSAY VIOLIN From Broadway to gourmet chef to music teacher to the Jacksonville Symphony – those are all stops along the way for Stephanie Lindsay. Raised in Southern Illinois, Stephanie studied classical music and played both the violin and the flute. After a year at University of Miami, where here she met her future husband, she completed her undergraduate studies at Boston University under legendary violin instructor Roman Totenberg. She took her musical talents on the road with national Broadway tours and eventually to the big lights of Broadway. She has also performed with artists such as Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and Stevie Wonder. Stephanie now calls the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra home where she performs across the stage from her husband, bassist Jason Lindsay, D.M.A. A strong believer in the importance of music education, Stephanie has been a teacher with the Jacksonville Symphony’s Jump Start Strings program, Jacksonville Symphony Youth Orchestra (JSYO) and Prelude Chamber Music Camp, in addition to teaching privately. At home, music is a central part of her family. Daughter Audrey plays violin in the JSYO while younger son James studies piano. When she’s not performing or teaching, Stephanie uses her culinary skills as a trained chef with The Natural Gourmet Institute, for fundraising efforts benefiting the Prelude Chamber Music Camp and spoiling her friends and family.
