This special collaboration sees three of our faculty members team up with two very distinguished colleagues from overseas. Described by the Los Angeles Times as an ‘extraordinary musician’, Mark Menzies is a member of the LA Philharmonic, and is currently violin and viola professor at the Californian Institute of Arts. The German-born, New Zealand-based pianist Michael Endres has been described as ‘one of the most interesting pianists recording today’ (Boston Globe), and an ‘outstanding Schubert interpreter’ (Gramophone). He holds a Masters degree from The Juilliard School in New York; has won the prestigious Diapason d’Or three times; and is one of only three pianists to have recorded all 400 dances of Franz Schubert.
