Michael Poll has been called “bewitching” by 34th Street Magazine, and “splendidly clean and focused, but always lyrical…superb!” by Jay Reise, President of Orchestra 2001. A classical guitarist, he has toured in North America, South America, and Europe, and has received funding as both a 2010 Fulbright and a 2012 Marshall Scholar. He holds degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and the Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznan, and currently studies at London’s Guildhall School of Music & Drama. Mr. Poll has served on the faculty of the Bryn Mawr Conservatory of Music, and was one of the founding directors of the Green Campus Partnership at the University of Pennsylvania. His first album is due to be released this summer.
At 22, violinist Madalyn Parnas has performed fifty times as soloist with orchestra, concertized with Peter Serkin, and earned enthusiastic reviews in the New York Times. With her sister Cicely, as duo parnas, she earned 1st prize in international competition at Carnegie Hall. The duo records on the Sheffield Lab label. Presently, Madalyn, a 2012 Marshall Scholar, is pursuing her Masters at London’s Royal Academy of Music, having earned an Artist Diploma while studying with Jaime Laredo at IU Jacobs School of Music. Ms. Parnas completed her bachelors at The College of Saint Rose, graduating summa cum laude in Music Industry and French.
A proud native of Florence, Alabama, Garrett Turner graduated from Emory University with a double major in Music and Creative Writing. He is currently pursuing an MA in Theatre and Performance at Queen Mary, University of London on a Marshall Scholarship. Garrett wears many hats, including singer, actor, dancer, poet, playwright and academician. In his free time he enjoys playing basketball and learning about people’s lives. In the future Garrett plans to continue teaching, writing and performing, all the while enlivening spirits and challenging minds.
