He has also appeared at many of the world’s major music centers and at such famed venues as the Hollywood Bowl and Walt Disney Concert Hall.


A native of Connecticut, Quinn pursued a bachelor of arts degree from Providence College where he was the recipient of the Leo S. Cannon award for superior achievement in the music field.
