Hlíf Sigurjónsdóttir was born in Denmark, of a Danish mother and Icelandic father, and grew up in Iceland. Upon graduation from the Reykjavík Music Conservatory, she furthered her violin studies at the Universities of Indiana and Toronto where her teachers were Franco Gulli and Lorand Fenyves, and at the Banff School of Fine Arts. Later she took private lessons in New York from the renowned violinist and teacher Gerald Beal. During the time of her studies, she was fortunate to work with many of the leading musicians of the 20th century, including William Primrose, Janos Starker, Georges Janzer, György Sebok and the members of the Hungarian quartet; Zoltán Székely, Mihaly Kuttner, Denes Koromzay and Gabor Magyar. Sigurjónsdóttir has given numerous concerts as a soloist and with various ensembles and orchestras. She has premiered a number of works, some of which were dedicated to her. A critically acclaimed 2CD set with her playing the Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach was released in 2008.

Icelandic violinist Hjörleifur Valsson began playing the violin at a local music school in Húsavík and later Ísafjörður where his teacher was Hlíf Sigurjónsdóttir. In 1988, he moved to Norway and became a pupil of Eivind Aadland and Grigorij Zhislin at the Oslo Music Academy. Upon graduation in 1993 he received a grant from the Czech government to study at the Conservatory in Prague for three years. During his stay there he made frequent appearances and recitals with the Greek-Cypriot pianist Ourania Menelaou, became acquainted with East-European folk music and played in a Moravian folk music ensemble. He later studied at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, Germany, and received his Music Degree there in the summer of 2000. While on the Continent, Valsson visited master classes of artists including Pierre Amoyal, Sergej Stadler, Truls Mörk and Pavel Gililov, and appeared in numerous concerts and recitals throughout Europe. Valsson is a versatile violinist with a highly personal and unique style. He has composed, performed and arranged music for theater, recorded for radio, television, movies and CD releases, and has collaborated with some of world s leading musical personalities.

Born in Fontainebleau, France in 1959, Christophe Landon made his first violin at the age of 15. Today he is a prize-winning violin maker and restorer, and an international dealer in instruments and bows. With headquarters located in Manhattan, he also maintains workshops in Paris, Berlin, Shanghai and Seoul. Landon is equally skilled in violin and bow making, two exacting and different skills. At an early age, Landon, who spent summers at the Mirecourt School in France, embarked on a non-stop learning course. He has apprenticed, interned and tutored in some of the most revered workshops and ateliers in the world, including that of Jean-Jacques Pages in Mirecourt, Max Möller in Amsterdam and Stephane Tomachot in Paris. Moving to New York in 1984, he worked with experts Jacques Français and Rene Morel. He won the Gold Medal Kassel for the sound of his asymmetrical viola in 1983 and first prize in the Maurice Vieux competition in 1986. In that same year, Landon founded Christophe Landon Rare Violins in New York, and began producing his own violins and bows as well as buying and selling fine Italian instruments and rare old French bows. Among his clients have been members of the New York Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic and Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. His New York studio has become a popular destination for students from nearby academies, concert violinists and artists who favor both Landon s own instruments and the world's finest and rarest instruments and bows he offers. In 1996, Strings magazine featured Landon in a cover entitled Remarkable Instruments - Visionary Makers.
