What these musicians share, in addition to their universally recognized
technical brilliance, is a passion for making the music come
alive. Individual stars in their own right, together they make musical
fireworks wherever they perform.
In 1998, violinist Axel Strauss became the first German artist ever
to win the Naumburg Violin Award, and in the seasons since, he
has been equally acclaimed for his virtuosity and his musical sensitivity.
The Salt Lake Tribune praised his well-rounded artistry by
saying, "Strauss quickly established that he is a virtuoso to be
reckoned with. But amid his technical acumen, there was a genuine
musician. His interpretive prowess was delightful."
Tanya Tomkins studied at the University of Southern California
with Gabor Rejto and received her bachelor of fine arts degree
from the California Institute of the Arts as a student of Ron Leonard.
She studied in Holland with cellist Anner Bijlsma and in 1987
earned a soloist's
diploma at
the Royal Conservatory
in The
Hague. During
fourteen years in
Holland, she
performed
throughout Europe
and the
United States to
critical acclaim.
Eric Zivian earned a diploma from Toronto's Royal Conservatory
of Music. At age 15 he enrolled at the Curtis Institute of
Music, where he received a Bachelor of Music degree, followed
by graduate degrees from Juilliard and Yale. He studied
with Marina Geringas, Gary Graffman and Peter Serkin. He
attended the Tanglewood Music Center as a performer in 1988
and 1989, studying chamber music with Gilbert Kalish, Peter
Serkin, Joel Krosnick, and others. He has won numerous prizes
for young pianists, including the Charles Miller/Sergei Rachmaninoff
Award upon graduation from the Curtis Institute of
Music and the Grace B. Jackson Award for Outstanding
Achievement and Notable Contributions to the Program as a
Whole at the Tanglewood Music Festival.
