One of the most notable violinists of the 21st century, White’s solo and chamber music performances have enchanted both audiences and critics across the country and internationally.

A first-prize laureate in the Sphinx Competition, White has performed with such leading U.S. ensembles as the Cleveland Orchestra, the Boston Pops, the Louisville Orchestra, and the Atlanta, Baltimore, Colorado, Detroit and Pittsburgh symphony orchestras. Internationally, she has appeared as soloist with Poland’s Fillharmonia Dolnoslaska, with the Colombian Youth Orchestra in a tour of that country, and as a recitalist in Baku, Azerbaijian.

White is a founding member of New York-based Harlem Quartet, where she has worked with such classical music luminaries as Itzhak Perlman, Ida Kavakian, Paul Katz and Anthony McGill; appeared in many of the country’s most prestigious venues, including Carnegie Hall, the White House and the Kennedy Center; and performed throughout the U.S., as well as in Europe, Africa, Japan and the United Kingdom.

Huebner, associate professor of music, has drawn worldwide acclaim for his performances of new and traditional music since making his debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at age 17. In January 2012, he was appointed pianist of the New York Philharmonic and currently holds the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Piano Chair. He has been featured in orchestral works by Lindberg, Stravinsky, Ives, Milhaud, Carter and R. Strauss, among others, and regularly appears in chamber music performances with musicians from the Philharmonic at New York City's Merkin Hall and elsewhere.
