About Stephanie Quinn

Her music education began in the Chicago area, at age ten at the American Conservatory of Music. Stephanie is a direct musical descendant of Clara Schumann through her teacher William Browning, a protege of Carl Friedberg, who was Clara Schumann's finest student. She later received the Eastman School of Music Merit Scholarship to pursue a double major in both violin and piano.

Later, she focused professionally on violin and continued her study in New York City with Juilliard professor Felix Galimir. She would then perform with the Philharmonia Virtuoso of New York in Carnegie Hall. After arriving back in Chicago, she studied with Gerardo Ribeiro.

Today, she performs in the Western North Carolina area with several chamber and orchestra music groups and travels as a soloist to Chicago and other cities for major events. Her music education studio has produced music scholarship winners and recording artists, and nurtures amateur chamber groups that include both young and adult students. A member of the Music Teachers National Association, Suzuki Association of the Americas, SAG / AFTRA, ASCAP and Toastmasters International, Stephanie is also a public speaker.
