Violinist Elizabeth Fayette is the recently appointed first
violinist of the Vega String Quartet, now in their 11th season
as quartet in residence at Emory University. She has been
praised by the New York Times for her alluring, lustrous
sound and seasoned virtuosity, and made her Carnegie Hall
debut in October 2013 with the Juilliard Orchestra under
conductor Alan Gilbert as the winner of The Juilliard Schools
Concerto Competition. In recent seasons she performed
with the Houston Symphony as a prizewinner in the Ima Hogg Competition,
won second prize in the Young Concert Artists International Auditions, and
was awarded the 2014 Musical Fund Society of Philadelphia Career Grant, as
well as the 2015 Juilliard/Tel Aviv Museum of Art Sanders Prize.

In the upcoming season, Fayettes activities with the Vega String Quartet will
include appearances across the United States and Mexico, as well as numerous
performances at Emory University. In addition, Fayette will also appear in her
third season as concertmaster with Symphony in C, and she will collaborate
with the Marinus Ensemble, the Jupiter Chamber Players, and the Manhattan
Chamber Players.
Highlights of past seasons include recital appearances at Rockefeller
University, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and at Philadelphias American
Philosophical Society with pianist Adam Golka, presented by the Philadelphia
Chamber Music Society. As a soloist Fayette recently performed with Symphony
in C as well as with the New York Classical Players (NYCP). With NYCP, she
performed the Martinu Concertino for Piano Trio and Strings with the Sheridan
Piano Trio, of which she was a founding member. With the Sheridan Trio,
Fayette has performed throughout Denmark, including at the Royal Danish
Conservatory of Music, as well as in Germany.
Fayettes festival appearances include Ravinias Steans Music Institute, the
Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival, and Music from Angel Fire. In 2016,
she returned for her third summer at the Marlboro Music Festival, where she
has performed with musicians such as Mitsuko Uchida, Jonathan Biss, Bruno
Canino, Samuel Rhodes, Peter Stumpf, Michael Tree, and Peter Wiley. Of her
summer 2014 performance of the suite from Stravinskys Lhistoire du Soldat, the
Boston Globe wrote that The playfully sinister tale centers in large part around
a soldiers violin, and Elizabeth Fayettes incisive playing bristled with character.
Fayette was born to a family of musicians, all string players. She has a BM
from the Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied with Pamela Frank, Shmuel
Ashkenasi, and Arnold Steinhardt, and an MM from The Juilliard School as a
student of Sylvia Rosenberg. She recently completed her studies with Rosenberg
in Juilliards esteemed artist diploma program. Fayette also completed a two-year
fellowship with Ensemble ACJW, a program administered by Carnegie Hall and
The Juilliard School, which supports young professional musicians in building
careers as top-quality performers, innovative programmers, and dedicated
teachers who fully engage with the communities in which they live and work.

br a d le y h o wa r d
With a career spanning classical and modern choral works,
solo recitals, and opera roles, tenor Bradley Howard has
gained recognition as a multifaceted performer, performing
under the batons of renowned conductors Seiji Ozawa,
William Fred Scott, Christian Badea, Riccardo Muti, Joesph
Flummerfelt, Yoel Levi, John Mauceri, and Robert Spano. A
passionate educator, he joined the faculty of Emory University
as director of vocal studies in 2011 and also serves as part of
the distinguished faculty of the Amalfi Coast Music Festival.

Howard began his career as a fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center, when
his performance of Bob Boles in the 50th anniversary of Benjamin Brittens
Peter Grimes brought him to the attention of famed conductor Seiji Ozawa.
Further operatic successes include Tamino in The Magic Flute, Ferrando in
Cos fan tutte, Rodolfo in La Bohme, Beppe in I Pagliacci, Count Almaviva
in I Barbiere di Siviglia, Peter Quint in Brittens Turn of the Screw, and Albert
in Albert Herring. He has performed at various festivals including Spoleto,
Chautauqua Opera, the Ohio Light Opera, Tanglewood Music Festival, and
Breckenridge Music Institute.
Howard brings depth and excitement of an expansive repertoire to his solo
recitals, handling the florid style of Bach and the fragmented tonalities of
Britten and Menotti with equal aplomb. This season he will be touring with
pianist Lee David Thompson performing the recital Cycles of Love featuring
the songs of various composers. In addition to the recital, Howard will be
performing as soloist on other concerts at Emorys campus including those with
the Emory University Chorus and Concert Choir, occurring both in the fall and
spring semesters. He will appear with pianist William Ransom for a recital on
Emorys Oxford campus in the spring semester. In May, Howard will join the
other Emory voice faculty to perform Brahms Liebeslieder Waltzes and other
works at Emorys Carlos Museum.
Howards degrees in music and voice from Baylor University and the University
of Cincinnati (UC) opened the doors to Americas musical stage. At UC he
earned an MM in voice working with William McGraw, and a BM in voice at
Baylor working with Joyce Farwell. Howard is an active adjudicator and clinician

Whitman College, Sam Houston State University, Emory University, Georgia
