Jim Graseck is known and loved by New Yorkers for his solo violin performances in venues ranging from Carnegie Hall to MTA subway platforms. A graduate of The Juilliard School, he has been soloist with orchestras in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Carolina. His numerous television appearances include The Tonight Show, Prime Time Live, The Morning Show, and VH1's Behind the Music. Jim's film credits include "One True Thing," starring William Hurt and Meryl Streep.

It is clear that Graseck is a serious artist with something to say. At the same time, he has made great music and virtuoso performances accessible — virtually at arm's length — to anyone with the good luck to stumble onto him.
