Ruxandra Simionescu-Marquardt violin

Romanian-born violinist Ruxandra Simionescu-Marquardt attended the George Enescu School of Music and Conservatory of Music in Bucharest, where she was profoundly influenced by professors Stefan Gheorghiu and Modest Iftinchi. As a young musician, she won several prizes and medals in international competitions such as Concertino Prague (1981), Henri Wieniawski (1983), Tibor Varga (1985), All-Romania Prize (1981, 1982) and participated in the Yehudi Menuhin Competition.

In 1986, she left Communist Romania to participate in the Indianapolis Violin Competition, defecting to the U.S. immediately afterward. She continued her studies at Indiana University with Joseph Gingold and at Syracuse University, where she joined the faculty from 1990 to 1998. In 1988, she became the youngest Associate Concertmaster in the U.S., a position she held for 13 years. She was also Principal Second Violin and Concertmaster (2008-2009) of the Jacksonville Symphony in Florida from 2002 to 2012 and appeared as guest Concertmaster of the Rhode Island Philharmonic and the New Mexico Philharmonic (2013). She played under many noted conductors, including Kazuyoshi Akiyama, Fabio Mechetti, James DePriest, Raymond Leppard, and Andrew Litton.

Ms. Simionescu-Marquardts solo performances include appearances with the Bucharest Philharmonic, the Bucharest Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Syracuse Symphony, Jacksonville Symphony, Gainesville Chamber Orchestra, Boston Virtuosi, Coastal Symphony of Georgia and the San Marco Chamber Society. As a chamber musician, she has participated in the Bayreuth Festival (1985), Skaneateles Music Festival (1991-2000), Eastern Music Festival (2002), and the Grand Tetons Festival (2003).


Paul Marquardt is a composer and pianist living near Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is also a software designer and developer writing a suite of software applications to assist in composing music. He has written works for chamber ensembles, piano and other solo instruments and electro-acoustic and computer-assisted music. He holds degrees from the Eastman School of Music and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His teachers include Samuel Adler, Joseph Schwantner, Robert Morris (composition and theory) and Salvatore Martirano. His musical influences originate in European concert music but extend to all parts of the globe as well as many other fields, including mathematics, computer science, Eastern spirituality and jazz. His music has received awards from ASCAP (Piano Etudes) and BMI (HEADSPIN for 8 saxophones and 2 pianos) and has been performed by a number of ensembles and soloists throughout the US. For many years, he worked with composer-pianist Drew Krause as part of the THUMP Piano Duo, performing a large number of 20-century 2-piano and solo works throughout the US and premiered several works written for us. Recordings of his works are available on Frog Peak Records. He also recorded Eric Richards The Bells Themselves: Jonathan Edwards and the American Songbook for 3 pianos (playing all parts) for the New World record label.

Paul was a core composer and performer in the BONK New Music Festival in Tampa, Florida and was the co-founder the FUN Music (Festival of Ugly New Music) festival in Urbana, Illinois. Recent performances include the Focus! Festival at the Julliard School, The Spectrum in New York City and the Ostrava Festival in the Czech Republic and Chatter Chamber series in Albuquerque. His Ultimatum for two improvising performers and live computer playback was premiered at the University of New Mexicos Wolf Tones series. He works as a Software Engineer at a large financial institution and performs frequently in the Central New Mexico with his wife Ruxandra Marquardt-Simionescu.
