The Artists:
The Johannes brings together the first American to win the Paganini Violin Competition in 24 years, Soovin Kim; a Concert Artists Guild Competition winner, Jessica Lee; the Principal violist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, C.J. Chang; and the Principal cellist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Peter Stumpf. Their collaboration was forged at the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont, and shaped and mentored by the Guarneri String Quartet whose style was influenced by the Budapest String Quartet decades before. They are continuing the legacy of excellence. In addition to its recent broadcasts on Performance Today and St. Paul Sunday and a triumphant Carnegie Hall debut, the Johannes has had great successes with audiences and critics alike in Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington DC, among others.
The longtime second violinist of the Guarneri Quartet, John Dalley was born in Madison, Wisconsin and studied with Efrem Zimbalist. Formerly on the faculty of the Oberlin Conservatory, a member of the Oberlin String Quartet, a participant at the Marlboro Festival, and artist-in-residence at the University of Illinois, Mr. Dalley has since concertized extensively in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand in recital and as soloist with orchestra. He is on the faculty of the University of Maryland School of Music.
Celebrated for his "accurate intonation and warmth of tone" (New York Times), Grammy-nominated cellist Peter Wiley attended the Curtis Institute at just 13 years of age, under the tutelage of David Soyer. He continued his precocious accomplishments with his appointment as principal cellist of the Cincinnati Symphony at age 20, after one year in the Pittsburgh Symphony. Wiley has enjoyed a long-term association with the Marlboro Music Festival, is currently on the faculty of the Bard College Conservatory of Music and the Curtis Institute of Music and has performed as a member of the Guarneri String Quartet and Opus One Piano Quartet.
