Stephenson’s style ranges from classical and jazz to rock and folk music. He is also a member of the IRIS Chamber Orchestra in Memphis, TN and the Colorado Music Festival. Seymour, an award winning musician, has performed with a multitude of acclaimed artists and ensembles, including the Cleveland Orchestra and the New World Symphony.
