Violist Carol Rodland made her solo debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age seventeen. Praised by Fanfare magazine for possessing a tone which is "larger than life, sweetly in tune, and infinitely variegated" and for her "delicious" playing, she enjoys an international career as a concert and recording artist and pedagogue. Recent performances have taken her to Brazil, Germany, and throughout the USA, and her solo recordings on the Crystal and Neuma labels have been critically acclaimed. A Fulbright Scholar, she holds degrees from the Juilliard School and the Musikhochschule Freiburg, where she studied with Karen Tuttle and Kim Kashkashian respectively. Ms. Rodland has held professorships at the Musikhochshule "Hanns Eisler" Berlin, Arizona State University, New England Conservatory, and as guest faculty at the Juilliard School. She recently accepted an appointment to the faculty of the Eastman School of Music.
