Veronica Phillips

Veronica Phillips is a music education major at Crane, with a focus on the violin. She loves performing in a group both inside and outside the classical world. When not playing the violin, which she has been for 10 years, she enjoys pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, making art of all kinds, playing cards, dressing up for no reason, and getting chased by zombies. She can’t stand sarcasm. Or beehives. Or music.

Gregory Razzano is currently a music education student with a concentration in clarinet at the Crane School of Music in Potsdam, NY.  Of most recent note, Greg played several reed instruments in the pit orchestra of Albany, New York's Park Playhouse this past summer in their production of West Side Story.  Greg's musical interests have varied from early music to modern jazz to film music, but Greg's overwhelming love for rock and roll must be credited to his parents.  Thanks, Mom and Dad.
