Tyler Bennett, is from Spartanburg, SC. He is currently a senior majoring in mathematics and computer science, and after graduating in the coming spring, he will attend graduate school. He has been a member of the PC Chamber Orchestra for four years and has studied with Cora Phillips for a year and a half. He'd like to extend thanks to his mother for her support. His cello, which he is playing tonight, is as of yet unnamed, but he is open to suggestions.
Idris Chandler , has been playing the violoncello for 16 years. He has studied under Dr. Robert Jesselson, cello professor at the University of South Carolina, and former president of the American String Teachers Association for nine of those years. Mr. Chandler performs with orchestras in the Carolinas and is currently pursuing a BM in Music Education. He is a former student and teacher of the USC String Project and participates in activities in area schools including sectionals, judging, seating auditions, and private lessons. He is thankful to have been invited to perform at area venues, with the opportunity to play with the likes of Ray Charles, Edwin McCain and Lou Rawls. Idris also enjoys the visual arts and hopes to begin a career that will merge the two, bringing the arts more creatively to the public. He is a graduate of Eau Claire High School in Columbia, SC.
