Joining Ms. Jackson on February 8th and 10th, will be violinist Stephanie Sant’Ambrogio. Ms. Sant’Ambrogio joined the the Argenta Trio in the fall of 2007 as she began her new position as Assistant Professor of Violin & Viola and Director of the Orchestral Career Studies graduate program at the University of Nevada, Reno.
