Jerylin Jorgensen

Founding member of the former Da Vinci Quartet, Jerylin Jorgensen successfully combines an active performing and teaching career with raising a family. Ms. Jorgensen's teachers have included Joseph Fuchs, Leonard Sorkin, and Zvi Zeitlin. She holds a bachelor of music degree from the Eastman School of Music and graduated in 1979 from the Juilliard School with a master's degree. Of the influences that have shaped her life and performing career, Ms. Jorgensen cites as formative the teaching of the Juilliard Quartet: "The music for which I have the greatest affinity - late Beethoven and the great early 20 th century works of Bartok and the Second Viennese School - is music that I learned to love through my studies with the Juilliard Quartet. They were a fantastic example of integrity and commitment to the process of artistic realization." Ms. Jorgensen plays a violin of Italian origin, circa 1850, formerly in the possession of Henri Temianka.
