Of her performance, at age 13, after winning the coveted first prize of the Aspen Music Festival’s Concerto Competition, Alan Fletcher, President and CEO of the Aspen Music Festival and School praised, “Here was freshness, confidence, radiant technique and perfect optimism wrapped in sparkling beauty,”

Caroline has adorned the small screen and public airwaves as well as the concert stage. She has appeared on NBC’s “Today,” National Public Radio’s “From the Top” and on the “Martha Show”, hosted by Martha Stewart. Recently, Caroline was invited to perform for the new PBS TV Series “From the Top: Live from Carnegie Hall,” which aired in 2007.

Through the generous efforts of The Stradivari Society of Chicago, Caroline became the recipient of an A&H Amati violin, which dates back to 1617 and was once owned by Beethoven’s former patrons, the Lobkowicz family. Caroline shares this honor with such artists as Joshua Bell, Midori, Gil Shaham, Sarah Chang and Vadim Repin. Caroline has collaborated with artists such as Christopher O’Riley, Anton Nel, Umberto Clerici, and Béla Fleck.

Caroline began studying the violin when she was three years old, under the tutelage of Julia Kurtyka and continues her studies with renowned violin pedagogue Paul Kantor at the Cleveland Institute of Music. She has also attended several music schools including the Aspen Music Festival and School, the Juilliard School as a young artist for the Starling-Delay Symposium, the Interlochen Center for the Arts, and The Ceilidh Trail School of Celtic Music on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
