portrait of Scott St John

Scott St. John is equally at home on both violin and viola. A graduate of the Curtis Institute and prize-winner of numerous competitions and awards, including a 2003 Avery Fisher Career Grant, he has played recent concertos with the orchestras of Calgary, Cincinnati, Grand Rapids, Montreal, Toledo, Utah and Winnipeg. An avid chamber musician, St. John frequently performs with The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (NY), Da Camera of Houston, on nationwide Musicians from Marlboro tours, and at the Seattle, Spoleto, and Vancouver music festivals. European festival engagements include France's Evian Music Festival, Germany's Schloss Moritzburg Chamber Music Festival and the Spoleto Festival in Italy. Scott served as Founder and Artistic Director of Millennium, a contemporary music ensemble for top young chamber musicians, from 1994-97, and in 1998 his "Chamber Music Company" launched a new series that included world premieres and multi-media collaborations in New York City's Merkin Hall. Scott St. John has been a member of the St. Lawrence String Quartet since 2006.
