There’s no top performer with whom she hasn’t played from Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman to Regina Carter and Mark O’Connor. There’s no stage she hasn’t graced from Carnegie Hall to Switzerland’s Tonhalle. She’s appeared in film with Meryl Streep and on Broadway. She was the celebrated first violinist of the Uptown String Quartet and the Max Roach Double Quartet. (Check out the works composed for the Uptown String Quartet by Cecil Bridgewater. Listen to the group perform live on New York Public Radio.) She’s even been on the Cosby show! Monroe is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, and the Philadelphia Musical Academy, and was a student at Oberlin Conservatory, University of the Arts, and Michigan State University. She “studied under distinguished pedagogues Ivan Galamian, David Cerone, Charles Castleman, Richard Young, Walter Verdehr, and Joyce Robbins. She has worked intimately with great chamber music masters such as Karen Tuttle, Felix Galimir, Mischa Schneider, Julius Levine, and members of the Guarneri and Cleveland Quartets.” The list of accomplishments goes on and on. |
