Jim serenades the N-train

The Juilliard-trained artist began his unorthodox path to fame quite by accident while practicing on a Long Island RR platform during a delay in service. Over the ensuing years Graseck has enthralled tens of thousands of straphangers and concert-goers, many of them now a faithful following, with a repertoire ranging from Bach and Paganini to Gershwin and Cole Porter. His audience is equally diverse, from CEOs to rappers.

Jim communicates to his audiences through both music and words. His ease with his violin and his audiences has made the familiar sound new and the transcendent sound immediate. His sheer virtuosity and riveting style are well represented with virtuoso pieces, popular standards, show music and rock classics.

In addition to his solo work, Jim is violinist with The Synergy String Quartet.
