Event Details

In this immersive concert experience, violist Nick Revel performs live alongside cinematic audio tracks from The Hero Levels: A Fantasy Novella and Original Soundtrack, a written fantasy and music collection where each piece corresponds to a vivid chapter in the accompanying novella. Audience members can follow the story in real time—either by scanning a QR code to read on their device or flipping through a limited-edition paperback. Joining Nick will be special guest violin virtuoso, Emilie-Anne Gendron. Read, listen, and journey through a world of magic, mystery, and sound.

Nick Revel is a multi-GRAMMY® nominated violist, composer, producer, and educator based in New York City. A founding member of PUBLIQuartet, he has performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and The Met Museum. He is a Silver Medalist in Audio Engineering at the Global Music Awards and has received composition honors from Catalyst Quartet’s CQ Minute, Golden Hornet’s String Quartet Smackdown, and the Red Jasper Award shortlist. His solo project, DragonScales: The Hero Levels, is a video game-inspired etude series for strings, combining original music with narrative-based learning. As an educator, he leads national workshops and recently completed a multi-visit residency with the Marywood University String Project, premiering a collaboratively-composed work using innovative notation. 

Lauded by The New York Times as a “brilliant soloist” and by The Strad for her “marvelous and lyrical playing,” violinist Emilie-Anne Gendron enjoys a versatile career based in New York City. She is a member and one of the concertmasters of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and a longtime member of the Momenta Quartet, currently quartet-in-residence at Binghamton University. Ms. Gendron also appears frequently with Musicians from Marlboro, Talea Ensemble, The Knights, A Far Cry, New Asia Chamber Music Society, Sejong, and Orchestra of St. Luke’s. In addition to frequently leading Orpheus, Ms. Gendron has served as concertmaster of the Iris Collective, Sejong, and Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, among others. She is a founding member of Ensemble Échappé, a new-music sinfonietta, as well as the Gamut Bach Ensemble, in residence with the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society.
