Lara and Matt have appeared globally and recorded two major albums. Of Key of A, a classical recording, blog critics.org wrote, "St. John’s ability to evoke the human voice is especially effective here when linked with Herskowitz’s multicolored fullness of tone.” Their appearance in Wheaton will provide just the right balance of standard classical repertoire and innovative interpretations.

Lara St. John happens to be a volcanic violinist with a huge, fabulous tone that pours out of her like molten lava. She has technique to burn and plays at a constant high heat. She is uninhibited, sometimes strikingly so. — Mark Swed, LA Times
