As a young student on the trumpet, Mr. Nemzin quickly gained momentum as he joined the Youth Orchestra of Palm Beach County for the 2003-2005 seasons acting as principal. He made his solo debut in 2004 with the orchestra, performing Trumpeter’s Lullaby at the Countess deHoernle Ampitheater in Mizner Park, Boca Raton, Fl. Upon graduation of high school in 2008, Mr. Nemzin attended The Florida State University where he received his Bachelor’s in Music Education under the study of Dr. Christopher Moore. As an Undergraduate student, he won multiple International Trumpet Guild Scholarships from 2008-2013 and won the Florida State University Trumpet Competition in spring of 2010. That same year, he was a Brass Regional Finalist in the Music Teacher’s National Association (MTNA) Competition. Only months later, Timothy found himself to be the winner of The National Trumpet Competition’s solo undergraduate division, performing Eino Tamberg’s Concerto for Trumpet. This win brought Mr. Nemzin much recognition throughout the country as he competed against the best trumpet players in his collegiate age group. Timothy Nemzin now resides in his hometown of Boca Raton, Florida where he attends the Lynn University Conservatory of Music pursuing his Master’s of Music Degree under the assistance of international acclaimed trumpeter, Marc Reese.  Pianist Sheng-Yuan Kuan has performed at the Kennedy Center, Weill Recital Hall, Taiwan National Concert Hall, and Musikverein in Vienna. She is a featured artist at the Heifetz International Music Institute, KUAF/Fulbright Summer Chamber Music Festival, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's Chamber Music by Candlelight series, and the Sylvia Adalman Chamber Concert Series at Peabody Conservatory. Tim Smith of the Baltimore Sun praised Ms. Kuan as "(having) admirable technical finesse and expressive flair at the piano." Ms. Kuan has collaborated with famed musicians such as Nobuko Imai, Stefan Jackiw, Espen Lilleslatten, Richard Stolzman, KengYuen Tseng, Time for Three, and members of the Borromeo and Parker Quartets and Apollo Trio. She also made appearances at music festivals such as Bowdoin, Aria, Sarasota, Yellow Barn, Gijon Piano Festival and Norfolk Summer Music Festival. Ms. Kuan has received accolades from many competitions, including the 13th Beethoven Piano Competition in Vienna (Best Female Pianist Award, 2009), the 12th Taipei Chopin International Piano Competition (3rd Prize, 2008), Corpus Christi International Competition in Texas (2nd Prize, 2008), and New York Kosciuszko Chopin Piano Competition (3rd Prize, 2003).
