Spanish-American violinist Francisco Fullana has been praised by BBC Music Magazine for “managing to combine Itzhak Perlman’s warmth with the aristocratic poise of Henryk Szeryng.” Recipient of the Avery Fisher Career Grant and an alum of CMS’s Bowers Program, Fullana makes concerto appearances across three continents this season, including debuts with the San Francisco and Utah Symphonies, and serves as artistic advisor to the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia and The Orchestra San Antonio. As Outhere Music’s newest recording artist, he will release an album of Lalo and Ginastera concertos under Carlos Miguel Prieto. His passion for curating audience experiences continues with a new project centered on Goya’s The Forge, premiering at the opening night of the Frick Collection’s Music at the Frick series in fall 2026. Fullana performs on the 1735 “Mary Portman” ex-Kreisler Guarneri del Gesù, generously loaned by Clement and Karen Arrison through the Stradivari Society of Chicago.
Since her concerto debut with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, flutist Sooyun Kim has enjoyed a flourishing career performing with orchestras, including the Bavarian Radio Symphony, Munich Philharmonic, Munich Chamber Orchestra, and Boston Pops. She has appeared in recital in Budapest’s Liszt Hall, Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center, and the Louvre Museum in Paris. She is a winner of the Georg Solti Foundation Career Grant and ARD International Flute Competition. An alum of CMS’s Bowers Program, she studied at the New England Conservatory under the tutelage of Paula Robison. She is recently appointed Assistant Professor of Flute at University Cincinnati College-Conservatory and teaches summer courses at Orford Musique. Kim plays on a rare 18-karat gold flute made especially for her by Verne Q. Powell Flutes and has recorded for labels including ArtistLed, Naxos, Toccata Classics, and BR-Klassik. Her album Confluence was released to great acclaim in 2025 on the Musica Solis label.
Bulgarian-American violinist Bella Hristova has won international acclaim for her “expressive nuance and rich tone” (New York Times) and “impressive power and control” (Washington Post). A recipient of the Avery Fisher Career Grant, she is known for a diverse repertoire, bold programming, and a warmly beguiling stage presence. Hristova has performed as a soloist with orchestras across the United States, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and New Zealand, and has given recitals at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, and Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. A devoted champion of living composers, she has premiered new concertos by Anthony Ritchie and her husband, David Serkin Ludwig. Her commissioning project, Lineage, features six new solo violin works and will be released as an album on Azica Records in 2027. She plays a 1655 Nicolò Amati violin once owned by Louis Krasner.
Last summer, violist Paul Neubauer premiered a new viola concerto by Ellen Taaffe Zwilich with conductor JoAnn Falletta at the Brevard Music Center. This season, he will record and perform the work with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2025, he released two albums on First Hand Records featuring the final works of two great composers: an all-Bartók album including the revised version of the Viola Concerto, and a Shostakovich recording that includes the monumental Viola Sonata. Appointed principal violist of the New York Philharmonic at the age of 21, Neubauer has appeared as soloist with the New York, Los Angeles, and Helsinki Philharmonics; the Chicago, National, St. Louis, Detroit, Dallas, San Francisco, and Bournemouth Symphonies; and the Santa Cecilia, English Chamber, and Beethovenhalle Orchestras. A two-time Grammy nominee, Neubauer is artistic director of the Mostly Music series in New Jersey and serves on the faculties of the Juilliard School and Mannes College.
Nicholas Canellakis has become one of the most sought-after and innovative cellists of his generation, praised in the New Yorker as a “superb young soloist.” Recent highlights include solo debuts with the Virginia, Albany, Bangor, and Delaware symphony orchestras; concerto appearances with the Erie Philharmonic, the New Haven Symphony, and the American Symphony Orchestra; Europe and Asia tours with CMS; and recitals throughout the US with his longtime duo collaborator, pianist-composer Michael Stephen Brown. An alum of CMS’s Bowers Program, he is a regular guest artist at many of the world’s leading music festivals. Canellakis is the Artistic Director of Chamber Music Sedona in Arizona and is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music (where he was recently appointed to the cello faculty) and New England Conservatory.
Double bassist Nina Bernat has established herself as one of the leading solo voices for her instrument. The Star Tribune praised her concerto debut with the Minnesota Orchestra as “exhilarating, lovely and lyrical.” In 2023, she became the first female bassist to receive the Avery Fisher Career Grant and won first prize in the Concert Artists Guild Elmaleh Competition. She has appeared as soloist with the Minnesota Orchestra, Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra, and Long Island Symphony, and her performances have been featured on NPR's Performance Today. Her debut album, Crossroads, will be released in fall 2026. She is a member of the CMS’s Bowers Program and has appeared at major music festivals such as Marlboro, Music@Menlo, Chamber Music Northwest, and Bridgehampton. She is Professor of Double Bass at Stony Brook University and performs regularly with ROCO and Sejong Soloists, and has appeared as guest principal with the Israel and Oslo Philharmonics.
Pianist Mika Sasaki is a soloist, chamber musician, and educator whose performances have taken her around the world. Her performances have been broadcasted on WQXR, WFMT, WCRB, KQAC, Vermont Public, and Radio Sweden. She has appeared as concerto soloist with the Sinfonia of Cambridge, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, 92Y Orchestra, and, more recently, with the InterSchool Symphony Orchestra of New York. She is a member of Ensemble Mélange, Chameleon Arts Ensemble of Boston, and Decoda, and has performed with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Manhattan Chamber Players, Orpheus, and A Far Cry, as well as in festivals such as Tanglewood, Chigiana, Yellow Barn, Taos, Chamber Music Northwest, and Music@Menlo. An alum of the Peabody Conservatory, Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect, and the Juilliard School, Sasaki is now a faculty member at Juilliard.
