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
