Album Notes

The Taubl Family has been touching the hearts and souls of audiences throughout the eastern United States for over ten years. Blessed by God and trained at such prestigious institutions as the Juilliard School, the Yale School of Music, and the Hartt School, these world class musicians combine their instrumental talents with their breath-taking family harmonies to awe and inspire all who hear them. The seven Taubl children range in age from 11 to 23 and play a variety of classical instruments. Gretchen, the oldest, plays violin and viola. After graduating from Juilliard’s pre-college program, Gretchen went on to get her Bachelor’s degree in viola performance from the Hartt School and is currently pursuing her Master’s there. Emily, age 21, also graduated from the pre-college program at Juilliard and received her Certificate in Cello Performance from the Yale School of Music at age 19. She is currently pursuing a second degree at the Hartt School of Music. Annabelle, age 20, also attends the Hartt School and studies with Nancy Allen, principal harp of the New York Philharmonic, with whom she began her studies while a student at Juilliard. Jack, the oldest son, is 16 years old and plays viola (and baseball!) He has a fabulous high tenor voice and a captivating stage presence. Samuel, age 14, also plays cello (and baseball!) and has been a student at the Juilliard Pre-College since age 8. Twins, James and Jeremiah, are 11 years old and play viola and violin (and baseball!!). Blessed with amazing voices and instrumental ability, these two bring joy and humor to the group. Parents John and Carol have devoted their lives to guiding the children’s musical endeavors and sharing this incredible gift with audiences everywhere.
