Violin 2:  Deborah "You should find youself a nice, solid profession," advised one of Deborah's first violin teachers. But, establishing a habit that would follow her throughout her musical career, Deborah refused to listen. Twenty years later, she still marches to the beat of her own drummer. Deborah has played in orchestras including the Chicago Civic Orchestra, the Northbrook (Illinois) Symphony, the Duke University Orchestra, Atlanta Community Symphony, Dekalb Symphony, Orchestra Atlanta, and now the Georgia Philharmonia.

Viola:  Carla  studied piano at a very early age, and became interested in the violin at age 10.  In her youth she attended many music festivals, including Eastern Music Festival in 1984 and was active in the Richmond Symphony Youth Orchestra and the Petersburg Symphony.   While pursuing a math degree at Virginia Commonwealth University, she played with the VCU Symphony conducted by David Commanday.  She attributes much of her musical skill to Mr. Commanday's talent and teaching ability.  From 1991 to 1998 she played with the Greensboro Philharmonia in North Carolina, serving as associate concertmaster during her last two seasons there.  She began playing with Orchestra Atlanta in 1998, and decided to expand her horizons by taking up the viola.  She is still playing viola with the orchestra, now known as The Georgia Philharmonia.   After founding her current quartet with  co-members, she began arranging various pieces for the quartet including requests for weddings.
