Edmund Bagnell performs as a soloist and also as first violinist in the classical/pop string quartet Well Strung. He tours across the United States, Mexico, Europe, and Russia, and has conducted master classes both in the United States and internationally.

Classically trained, Edmund received his bachelor's degree in music performance from the conservatory at New York University. During his time there he also studied violin at the prestigious Meadowmount School of Music. He first learned violin using the Suzuki method, and then studied privately with Jerrie Luctenberg, using the Galamian system. Other teachers include Dr. Mellasenah Edwards at the South Carolina Governer’s School for the Arts, and Arturo Delmoni (concertmaster of New York City Ballet). 

The quartet, Well Strung, released three chart topping albums in the classical crossover genre and performed live several times on TODAY. In December, Edmund released a solo holiday album, Christmas at Home, which was included on several best of lists including USA Today. 

Edmund is a patient teacher, and values building a solid violin technique that can be applied to today’s music across all genres.
