Kate Ransom was a long-time member of the Serafin Quartet, a string quartet which recently gave rise to the Serafin Ensemble, a new, larger group that includes wind instruments, a pianist, and a vocalist, along with strings. Her playing has been hailed by the New York Times as "impassioned." She's also the president of the Music School of Delaware in Wilmington, where the Serafin Summer Music Festival concerts will be held.
Hal Grossman is Professor of Violin at the University of Louisville, and is the founder and creator of The Grossman Method, a course of study that addresses musician injuries.
Violist Luke Fleming, who has been praised by The Philadelphia Inquirer for his "glowing refinement," is founding artistic director of the Manhattan Chamber Players and the Crescent City Chamber Music Festival, and a former member of the Attaca Quartet.
