A native of Indonesia, Dr. Ayke Agus began her concert career on both the violin and the piano at the age of 7. After finishing High School she came to the United States on a full scholarship to study violin and piano at Daemen College, Buffalo, NY. She further received a full scholarship from the Juilliard School of Music for graduate studies, but chose instead to audition for the Heifetz Masterclass at USC, Los Angeles.
Dr. Ayke Agus, a concert violinist and pianist, will forever be known as the last accompanist during the last fifteen years of the world renowned Russian-American violinist, Jascha Heifetz’s life. She performed as pianist with Jascha Heifetz and Gregor Piatigorsky in Chamber Music concerts.
After his death Dr. Ayke Agus wrote the one and only book entitled “Heifetz As I Knew Him” which was read by music lovers and violinists worldwide.
As a result she was invited to give masterclasses and lecture concerts around the world. She taught and performed at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, Russia, the Jascha Heifetz concert Hall in Vilnius, Lithuania, the Juilliard School of Music, the Royal Academy of Music in London (RAC), New England Conservatory, and Boston University.

Nicholas Canellakis has become one of the most sought-after and innovative cellists of his generation, praised as a “superb young soloist” (The New Yorker) and for being “impassioned ... the audience seduced by Mr. Canellakis’s rich, alluring tone” (The New York Times). A multifaceted artist, Canellakis has forged a unique voice combining his talents as soloist, chamber musician, curator, filmmaker, composer/arranger, and teacher.
Recent concert highlights include concerto appearances with the Virginia, Albany, Delaware, Stamford, Richardson, Lansing, and Bangor Symphonies, the Erie Philharmonic, The Orchestra Now, the New Haven Symphony as Artist-in-Residence, and the American Symphony Orchestra in Carnegie Hall. A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and New England Conservatory, his teachers included Orlando Cole, Peter Wiley and Paul Katz, and he was a student of Madeleine Golz at Manhattan School of Music Pre-College.
Canellakis was recently appointed to the cello faculty of the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, his alma mater.
