October 8, 2007: "The first half...featured violinist Stephanie Chase playing (Beethoven's) Concerto in D Major. This alone was worth the price of admissiom as Kuss Auditorium was filled with sumptuously sweet sounds emitted from her 1742 Guarnerius violin" - Springfield News Sun 

The “stunning power” and “explosive, 1,200-horsepower playing that precisely matched the scale and soul of the music” (Louisville Courier-Journal) have brought violinist Stephanie Chase international renown and performances as soloist with orchestras that include the Chicago Symphony, London Symphony and New York Philharmonic.  “No other violinist plays more truly or musically than Chase” (San Francisco Chronicle) whose “elegance, dexterity, rhythmic vitality and great imagination” (Boston Globe) “make each work a new musical journey, riveting the audience’s attention from beginning to end” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).

"One of the twenty most outstanding performances in the work’s recording history” (‘Beethoven: Violin Concerto,’ Cambridge University Press), Ms. Chase’s recording of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto and Romances is hailed for her “great sense of style, matchless technique and flawless intonation” (BBC Magazine) and “supreme inner radiance” (NPR). Ms. Chase is a top medalist of the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow and a recipient of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant.

“Refreshingly stylish” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) interpretations that feature “rich, passionate tone, dead-true intonation throughout, and virtuosity galore” (Gramophone) have earned Stephanie Chase countless standing ovations throughout the world.

Stephanie Chase is a co-founder and the artistic director of the Music of the Spheres Society, Inc., which presents innovative programs of chamber music concerts, lectures, and educational workshops that illuminate music’s historical, philosophical and scientific foundations.
