Meet Pamela Mireles 🎻

Borrowing a Cade violin helped this String Fellow explore tone more deeply and grow in confidence as a performer. Access to high-quality instruments through the String Fellows Program makes a lasting difference for students who might not otherwise have it.

Meet Lacy San Antonio 🎻

Through the String Fellows Program, access to instruments like those from Dr. Cade’s collection has allowed students to move beyond a standard student violin.

“The instrument expanded my understanding of the quality and types of sounds that can be produced, which enabled me to give more nuance to my musical expression.”

Meet Alyssa Jouret 🎻

Through the String Fellows Program, Alyssa has had the opportunity to perform on an Unknown Maker violin paired with an E. Gartner Stuttgart bow from Dr. Cade's collection.

"I feel that by playing on this violin, I am keeping the legacy of Dr. Cade and all that he stood for alive."
