About the artist:
North Carolina native Marjorie Bagley has performed around the world since beginning her career at age nine as a soloist with the Winston-Salem Symphony and at fourteen with the North Carolina Symphony. After two decades elsewhere, she happily returned in 2009 to teach at UNCG and be closer to her family. She plays a violin crafted in 1708 by Milan’s Giovanni Grancino.
As a founding member and first violinist of the Arcata String Quartet for a decade, Marjorie performed in Wigmore Hall (London) and Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall (New York). She’s indulged her taste for foreign travel and adventure while performing solo recitals and concertos in Korea, Moldova, South Africa, and Namibia and teaching master classes in Argentina and Chile. She enjoys working with living composers to perform and record contemporary music (published by the VOX, Albany, Equilibrium, and Summit labels).
Currently Professor of Violin at UNCG, Marjorie has held faculty positions at Ohio University and Utah State University. For eleven summers, Marjorie was on the faculty at the Brevard Music Festival in western North Carolina. Since 1997, she has performed with the Berkshire Bach Society in western New England. Other summers have included teaching positions at the Perlman Music Festival, the Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival, and the International Music Academy in Plzen, Czech Republic.
