Our Coaching Artists are the most highly-regarded and respected musicians in the state of Georgia. As members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and The Atlanta Opera, our artists are active performers as well as dedicated teachers. Click on their bios to read about all the places they play and teach!
The four members of the Franklin Pond Quartet serve as our core Coaching Artists (see the * next to their name). They work with both our Summer Intensive and Fall Into Spring programs and join the students at the University of North Georgia for our annual retreat. Our other Coaching Artists work primarily with our Fall Into Spring students, but can be seen hanging around The Pond in the summertime too!
