Jennifer Stumm, Viola. Pianist Elizabeth Pridgen
Violist Jennifer Stumm is internationally recognized as a musical innovator and dynamic advocate for her instrument. Ms. Stumm is the winner of three major competitions: Concert Artists Guild in 2006, where she took First Prize as the first solo violist in the nearly sixty-year history of the competition; and the William Primrose and Geneva Competitions in 2005. Also that year, Ms. Stumm was honored with an award from the Vriendenkrans of Amsterdam's Concertgebouw. Hailed as "outstanding" by The Strad Magazine, Ms. Stumm's 2009-10 season highlights include her recital debut at New York's Merkin Concert Hall, and guest appear-ances for Chamber Music of Schumann at Symphony Space's Thalia Theatre in New York and at the Philadelphia Brahms Festival. She also returns to Barbes Bar/Performance Space in Brooklyn as part of CAG's New Music/New Places series. A native of Atlanta, Jennifer Stumm began viola studies at the age of eight in her school's orchestra program and now devotes time to master classes and educational outreach with the hope that younger musicians will be similarly encouraged. Ms. Stumm holds a Bachelors of Music degree from Philadelphia's Curtis Institute as a student of Karen Tuttle. She pursued interests in astronomy and politics at the University of Pennsylvania at the same time. Ms. Stumm also earned a Masters of Music degree at The Juilliard School. Currently, she divides her time between musical commitments in the U.S. and Europe, where her recent mentors have been violist Nobuko Imai and cellist Steven Isserlis. www.jenniferstumm.com
