A bit of biographical information from my colleague and friend Raymond Karl Malone:
Raymond Karl Malone violist and violinist is on the faculty of the Monteverdi Music School in Montpelier,Vt. as well as at Johnson State College. A very active pedagogue, his students are numerous and many have gone on to further studies in music here in Vermont and in New York and Massachusetts. Not new to Vermont, Mr. Malone has participated in numerous musical ensembles including “Arioso” with area singers Linda Radtke and Marjorie Drysdale. In 1999 he joined conductor Catherine Orr and the Montpelier Chamber Orchestra for performances of the Beethoven Violin Concerto and acted as the orchestras concertmaster for one season.
Mr. Malones’ Carnegie Hall debut at the age of 15 was made under the auspices of “American Youth Performs.” While as an undergraduate at Boston University the opportunity presented itself to travel to Berlin and perform under the now legendary
Herbert Von Karajan at the Philharmonie in Berlin Germany.
His two most influential teachers have been Roman Totenberg violinist and George Neikrug,cellist– these during his undergraduate studies. In New York, his graduate studies at The Manhattan School of Music included Lilian Fuchs in chamber music and violin studies with Erick Friedman,(Jascha Heifetz’ protoge).
