Stephen Redfield

Violinist Stephen Redfield, D.M.A., is a member of the University of Southern Mississippi School of Music faculty, where he performs with the Mississippi Chamber Circle and the Impromptu Piano Trio. Throughout the year Stephen acts as concertmaster of the Santa Fe Pro Musica, and each summer plays with the Victoria Bach Festival; his performances as concertmaster and soloist there have been produced on discs and broadcast nationally. He has also often led the Oregon Bach Festival orchestra, where he has participated in numerous recordings, including the Grammy Award-winning disc “Credo.” In addition, Stephen is concertmaster of the Arizona Bach Festival, was the long-time principal second violin of the Sunriver Music Festival, and served for five years as Assistant Concertmaster of the Austin Symphony Orchestra.
Stephen has particularly extensive experience in the choral-orchestral repertoire: over his 30 years with the Oregon Bach Festival, he performed the majority of this repertoire with Helmuth Rilling (including recording eight works, and premiering two commissioned pieces). He is concertmaster for Craig Hella Johnson and the coral ensemble Conspirare. He has led a period B Minor Mass for Joshua Habermann and the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, and was concertmaster for Robert Shaw in the Berlioz Requiem and for Fiora Contino in Haydn’s Creation and the St. John Passion.
Stephen is an active chamber musician throughout the United States and abroad. He has collaborated with artists Andre-Michel Schub, Peter Wiley and Mark Peskanov. His Cayuga Quartet was a winner of the Coleman and Monterey Chamber Music Competitions and earned an Aspen Quartet Fellowship. In addition to the festivals mentioned before, Stephen has been featured in chamber concerts at Loon Lake Live!, Taos Soundscapes, Serenata of Santa Fe, Quad-Cities Mozart Festival, and the Anchorage Festival, among others. He coached with the Cleveland Quartet and Abram Loft, the Emerson Quartet and Earl Carlyss, and the LaSalle and Audubon Quartets.
He frequently performs as a soloist; during 2009, Mendelssohn’s 200th birth-year, he performed both Mendelssohn violin concertos (and also toured with his three sonatas). His specialty is 18th and early 19th-Century concertos and concert pieces, often leading the ensemble while playing the solo. Highlights include Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, each of the Bach Concertos, and selected concertos and works by Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn. He also performed a Western-U.S. premiere of the Michael Daugherty’s “Ladder to the Moon.”
Stephen has also developed a specialization in period performance. He performs regularly as a Baroque violinist, including as a member of the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra, and he has led the ensembles Albuquerque Baroque Players and Nashville’s Music City Baroque.
Stephen’s Baroque chamber music credits include concerts with Marion Verbruggen, Mary Springfels, Elizabeth Blumenstock and Kenneth Slowik., and with the Newberry Consort and the Smithsonian Chamber Players.

Thomas Carroll

With a sound described as “beautifully warm” (Herald Times) and “sweet and agile” (New York Times), period clarinetist and instrument builder Thomas Carroll performs extensively throughout North America and Europe on historical instruments. He holds degrees from Oberlin Conservatory, Indiana University, and The Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, where his major teacher on early clarinets and chalumeaux was Eric Hoeprich.
Internationally, Thomas has performed as principal clarinet with period instrument orchestras in venues ranging from the Kozerthaus in Berlin to the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. He has been featured as a soloist with Philharmonia Baroque, American Bach Soloists, Mercury Chamber Orchestra, Lyra Baroque, Ensemble ad Libitum, Boston Baroque, and Grand Harmonie to critical acclaim. Thomas currently performs as principal clarinet with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale, Mercury Chamber Orchestra, Boston Baroque, Philharmonie Austin, and German-based L’Arte del Mondo, frequently collaborating with other early music specialists throughout North America including the Clarion Music and Handel and Haydn Societies, Sonoma Bach, and Musica Angelica. As an arranger of Harmoniemusik for period instruments, his transcriptions have been performed by Grand Harmonie, On Site Opera, Atlanta Opera, and the Arizona Opera. Eager to combine active scholarship with performance, Thomas is the co-founder with flutist Andrea LeBlanc of Arpeggione, a chamber ensemble taking inspiration from the celebrated history of Boston’s Mendelssohn Quintette Club, performing transcriptions and arrangements of large-scale works as they were originally heard on the American stage in the second half of the 19th Century.
As an educator, Thomas is dedicated to training the next generation of historical clarinetists and cultivating an interest in performance practice and hands-on research. He has given guest lectures and masterclasses at universities throughout the United States and maintains a private studio of historical clarinet students. He is also a faculty member at the Festival de Música de Santa Catarina in Brazil.
An interest in instrument mechanics and acoustics has led Thomas to a secondary career as an instrument builder and extensive research into 18th and 19th century wood treatment and seasoning. He builds chalumeaux, baroque, and classical clarinets, and basset instruments for use in historically-informed performance ensembles in his Boston workshop, which are played throughout North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia.

Stephen Redfield
Violinist Stephen Redfield, D.M.A., is a member of the University of Southern Mississippi School of Music faculty, where he performs with the Mississippi Chamber Circle and the Impromptu Piano Trio. Throughout the year Stephen acts as concertmaster of the Santa Fe Pro Musica, and each summer plays with the Victoria Bach Festival; his performances as concertmaster and soloist there have been produced on discs and broadcast nationally. He has also often led the Oregon Bach Festival orchestra, where he has participated in numerous recordings, including the Grammy Award-winning disc “Credo.” In addition, Stephen is concertmaster of the Arizona Bach Festival, was the long-time principal second violin of the Sunriver Music Festival, and served for five years as Assistant Concertmaster of the Austin Symphony Orchestra.
Stephen has particularly extensive experience in the choral-orchestral repertoire: over his 30 years with the Oregon Bach Festival, he performed the majority of this repertoire with Helmuth Rilling (including recording eight works, and premiering two commissioned pieces). He is concertmaster for Craig Hella Johnson and the coral ensemble Conspirare. He has led a period B Minor Mass for Joshua Habermann and the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, and was concertmaster for Robert Shaw in the Berlioz Requiem and for Fiora Contino in Haydn’s Creation and the St. John Passion.
Stephen is an active chamber musician throughout the United States and abroad. He has collaborated with artists Andre-Michel Schub, Peter Wiley and Mark Peskanov. His Cayuga Quartet was a winner of the Coleman and Monterey Chamber Music Competitions and earned an Aspen Quartet Fellowship. In addition to the festivals mentioned before, Stephen has been featured in chamber concerts at Loon Lake Live!, Taos Soundscapes, Serenata of Santa Fe, Quad-Cities Mozart Festival, and the Anchorage Festival, among others. He coached with the Cleveland Quartet and Abram Loft, the Emerson Quartet and Earl Carlyss, and the LaSalle and Audubon Quartets.
He frequently performs as a soloist; during 2009, Mendelssohn’s 200th birth-year, he performed both Mendelssohn violin concertos (and also toured with his three sonatas). His specialty is 18th and early 19th-Century concertos and concert pieces, often leading the ensemble while playing the solo. Highlights include Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, each of the Bach Concertos, and selected concertos and works by Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn. He also performed a Western-U.S. premiere of the Michael Daugherty’s “Ladder to the Moon.”
Stephen has also developed a specialization in period performance. He performs regularly as a Baroque violinist, including as a member of the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra, and he has led the ensembles Albuquerque Baroque Players and Nashville’s Music City Baroque. Stephen’s Baroque chamber music credits include concerts with Marion Verbruggen, Mary Springfels, Elizabeth Blumenstock and Kenneth Slowik., and with the Newberry Consort and the Smithsonian Chamber Players. As a member of the Sebastian Ensemble, with harpsichordist Kathleen McIntosh, Stephen travelled twice to Lima, Peru, for the Festival Internacional de Música Antigua‏. Specializing in J.S. Bach’s Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord Obligato, this period performance group has toured throughout the United States as well as in Spain, Japan and Cuba.
