Violinist Stefan Hersh enjoys a varied career, equally at home as a chamber musician, soloist, orchestral musician, and teacher. A founding member of the Callisto Ensemble, Hersh is currently on the faculty of the Chicago College of the Performing Arts at Roosevelt University in
Chicago. Hersh has been teaching and performing at the Colorado College Summer Music Festival for many summers. 

He is founder and Artistic Director of Guarneri Hall NFP, a not-for-
profit classical music incubator. He is known nationally as a guest artist, teacher, lecturer, and performer. 

Hersh moved to Chicago in 1995 from Minneapolis where he was Principal Second Violin with the Minnesota Orchestra. He was the Second Violinist of the Chicago String Quartet, and a member of the Chicago Chamber Musicians until 2000.

Hersh comes from a musical family. His paternal grandparents were both professional musicians. Recital collaborations between Hersh and his father, pianist Paul Hersh, have included complete Beethoven and Brahms Sonata Cycles across the U.S. and lecture/performance
residencies at a number of American Universities. They have recently completed recordings of Beethoven Sonatas for Violin and Piano.
