Kyle Gilner

From there he began playing in group classes and being put into after-school orchestra rehearsals where he gained his love of music making and ensemble playing. Having no prior experience with classical violin playing and quickly discovering that he wanted to pursue a career in classical violin performance, he began taking private lessons with Marissa McLeod, former 2nd Violinist of the Anderson String Quartet, followed by Guido Lamell a current Section 2nd Violinist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. He currently holds degrees from both the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music where he studied with Henry Gronnier as well as the Cleveland Institute of Music where he studied with former Concertmaster of The Cleveland Orchestra, William Preucil. He has participated in masterclasses with the Schubert Ensemble of London, Takacs Quartet, Cavani Quartet, Laredo-Robinson Trio, Jinjoo Cho, Keith Robinson, William Preucil, Peter Salaff, Anita Pontremoli, JAn Sloman, Jaime Laredo, Sharon Robinson, Danish String Quartet, St. Lawrence String Quartet, Kathryn Brown, Arnold Steinhardt, and Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu.
