VC Young Artist Violinist Johan Dalene:

“My father, haha..."

Czech Soloist, VC Artist Josef Spacek:

“Hard to say ... maybe Váša Příhoda ..."

Emerson String Quartet Violinist, Philip Setzer:

“The great violinist ... and my teacher ... Oscar Shumsky"

London Symphony Orchestra First Violinist “Queen of Bling” Maxine Kwok-Adams:
