Six of the family members are known to the public through a combination of their performances in recitals, and on radio and television (including NBC's Today Show and a PM Magazine film feature), and as soloists with orchestras and chamber ensembles. The performing family members are Robert Schrade, Rolande Schrade, David James, Robelyn Schrade-James, Randolph Schrade, Rorianne Schrade, Lynelle James, and Christopher James. They have gained prominence in national and international competitions and through their affiliations as teachers and students with conservatories, universities and independent schools in New York. They share the added distinction of being the first family of musicians to be listed on the Steinway Piano Company's global artists' roster. Click here for 2008 Concerts.
