Check out this video of DHS Alum, Adam DeGraff. He was our concertmaster and even played in the jazz band for a bit in the early 90s. He has since gone on to a fine professional career as an orchestral player and soloist. Currently, he is one half of Pianafiddle, a nationally acclaimed duo that plays everything from classical to bluegrass. Pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a concert violinist, he can be seen here playing "Sweet Child O' Mine." Well worth your time!
