Violinist Ruth Bruegger: Whether performing with Classical music luminaries (Itzhak Perlman, Yehudi Menuhin, Placido Domingo, Andrea Bocelli), pop stars (Madonna, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith, Green Day) or in recording studios for movie or television soundtracks, Ruth's beautiful, rich tone and her passionate stage presence always stand out. She is currently concertmistress of the San Fernando Valley Symphony and also performs in the Canoga Bowl (a bowling alley, not an outdoor concert venue) with the Symphomaniacs.
Greg Adamson's stellar cello playing has been heard in various orchestras around Southern California: The San Bernardino Symphony (co-principal), and the Mozart Classical Orchestra (principal) to name two.

He is a much beloved teacher for 'All the Arts for All the Kids' in Fullerton and sits on their board.
Ross Källing is a pianist and arranger. After years of toiling in the pits (no pun intended) of various musical theatre productions in Southern California, Ross is returning to his first love, chamber music. He is an award winning theatrical musical director, was Musical Director of the prestigious Beverly Hills Playhouse for several years, and founding Director of Music Curriculum for the Academy for New Musical Theatre in North Hollywood.
