Juilliard String Quartet switches violinist

Juilliard String Quartet switches violinist

Ronald Copes is stepping away from the JSQ after 28 years.

His successor is Leonard Fu.

He remains the only male.

Fu’s early years in Germany were guided by studies with Lara Lev and Tanja Becker-Bender. He completed his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at New England Conservatory under the tutelage of Donald Weilerstein and studied at Juilliard with Weilerstein and Catherine Cho (BM ’92, MM ’94). Fu has pursued further professional studies with Antje Weithaas at the Kronberg Academy, supported by the Gingko Foundation. He has served as teaching assistant to Weilerstein at NEC and Cho at Juilliard, where he assisted with both Pre-College and College students.
