He began his violin studies at 3 years old through the Suzuki violin method. At 14 he made his Carnegie Hall debut with the New York Youth Symphony while studying with Mitchell Stern (Julliard/Manhattan School of Music). After attending Eastman School of Music for two years Carl moved to Evergreen Colorado to pursue a career as a bluegrass fiddler. Since then he has performed, recorded and taught all over the United Sates. Critically acclaimed by Rolling Stone Magazine for his New Orleans Jazz Festival performance in 2005, Carl blends his love of Classical Music with elements of jazz, blues, rock, and bluegrass. Carl was playing a gig at a local bar where he met the string faculty from Lynn who were having a post concert drink. 3 weeks later he auditioned and was awarded a full scholarship to study under Carol Cole. His goal  remains to "take the class out of classical music."   Jayanat Wisaijorn made his debut concert at age 16, playing Rachmaninoff’s 2nd Concerto with The Heartland Symphony Orchestra, winning the Gold Medal. He was also invited as a guest artist to perform in the Honor’s Concert of the St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Wisaijorn started playing the piano and composing at age nine. He has been awarded several top prizes in Piano Competitions in Thailand such as: 2003 Yamaha Piano Competition, 2004 Settrade Competition organized by Mahidol College of Music,  and in the United States: 2006 Heartland Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition and 2008 Walenstein Competition. He participated in master-classes with artists such as: Jeffrey Biegel, Phillip Evans, Robert McDonald, Arie Vardi, and Phillipe Entremont. During Summer 2009 he was accepted to the Prestigious Internationale Sommerakademie Mozarteum in the studio of the world renowned pianist Dominique Merlet, in Salzburg, Austria. Mr. Wisaijorn is awarded a full scholarship at Lynn Conservatory of Music studying under Dr. Roberta Rust.  Chien-I Yang was born in Taiwan as an only child in her family. Chien-I was exposed to classical music from an early age due to her mother’s passion for the arts. She began studying piano at the age of 5 under the guidance of Yi-Hsien Chung and was admitted to study in the music department of National Taichung Second High School at the age of 15. At 18, she was studying in the music department of Soochow University, under Prof. John D. Vaughan.  Chien-I won The First Chamber Music Competition in SooChow University in 2004, and gave a public performance in the National Concert Hall in Taipei. She received fourth prize in the Piano Competition of Taichung City in 1999, second prize in the Piano Competition of Changhua County in 1996 and 1997, and fourth prize for her piano trio in the Chamber Music Competition of Taiwan. During her college years, Ms. Yang performed actively as a soloist and chamber musician at Soochow auditorium, National Concert Hall in Taipei, and the Children Orchestra Summer Concert in Changhua city.
