Amy Hershberger has performed extensively as a soloist and in chamber music performances throughout the country. She was Concertmaster of the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra from 2001 until its close in 2017, and has been the Associate Concertmaster of the Pasadena Symphony from 2001 until the present, appearing as a soloist with these orchestras as well as others.
She has collaborated extensively in chamber music across the country, including at the La Jolla Summerfest and the Mozart Festival in San Diego. Additionally, she has performed as a recording musician on many hundreds of motion picture soundtracks, as well on records and other media.
Sarah Thornblade has been described as “a marvelously versatile violinist” (Santa Barbara News) whose playing has been described as “rapturously winning” by the Los Angeles Times. She is an avid chamber musician, a grand prize winner of the Coleman and Fischoff chamber music competitions, and is the associate principal second violin of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. A founding member of the Eclipse Quartet, an ensemble dedicated to performing twentieth-century and contemporary music, the Eclipse quartet has been the recipient of an Aaron Copland Fund recording grant and has recorded for Tzadik, New World, Cold Blue, and Bridge recording labels.
Sarah is on the faculty of Pomona College and is also an active recording musician for film and television. She holds degrees from Indiana University and Northern Illinois University.
Violist/ Violinist Jordan Warmath received her DMA in Viola Performance from UCSB in 2017. As a sought after performer and collaborator she has appeared on stage with internationally acclaimed pop artist Sting, soprano Renée Fleming, the Takács Quartet, cellist Carter Brey, pianist Emanuel Ax, and violinists Ray Chen, Anne Akiko Meyers, Glenn Dicterow, and Gil Shaham. As a lover of orchestral music she regularly performs with the Pasadena, New West, and Bakersfield Symphonies in addition to serving as Principal Viola for the Westside Chamber Orchestra and associate principal viola for the Pacific Opera Project. As an advocate for modern viola and violin literature, she continues to commission, seek, promote, and perform contemporary music (and opera!) as frequently as possible. However, her favorite part of working in Los Angeles has been performing in the studio where she can be heard on the soundtracks to Obi-Wan, Star Trek, Bad Boys, Lego Movie 2, and many more.
