Caroline Durham Jorden began her violin journey at New England Conservatory Preparatory School in Boston and has since studied with Deborah Moench, Eugene Watanabe, Monte Belknap and Alex Woods. 

She has received a number of awards from the Utah Symphony Youth Guild, Music Teachers National Association and Utah Music Teachers Association, and has performed as a soloist with multiple orchestras in Utah, including the Brigham Young University Philharmonic and Utah Valley Symphony in 2024. Durham Jorden also performed internationally as a featured soloist for the Ballet West Academy in Berlin, Germany (2018) and as a performer in the BYU China Spectacular tour (2019). Durham Jorden performs frequently and can be seen in the Billings Symphony, the Candlelight concert series, and as one of the founding members of the Aspen Grove Trio, which won the MTNA National Chamber Music Competition in 2024. Most of all she loves performing with her husband, Tanner Jorden. 

A recent graduate from Brigham Young University in Violin Performance at Brigham Young University, she will be attending the Manhattan School of Music to pursue a Master’s degree this fall. When not performing, Durham Jorden loves going on long walks, hiking, traveling and watching videos about elephants.


Piano

Tanner Jorden
Piano

Shortly before leaving his home in Montana, Tanner Jorden received first prize at the Donald Runnicles Musical Arts Scholarship Competition. In 2023, Jorden won second prize at the Music Teacher National Association (MTNA) Young Artist National Piano Competition, being the youngest among finalists who were deep into their graduate studies. In 2024, he won first prize in the MTNA National Chamber Music Competition with the Aspen Grove Trio as well as second prize at the PianoArts North American Piano Competition.

Jorden is a frequent soloist with professional symphonies. Recent engagements include Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with Sir Donald Runnicles and the Montana Youth Symphony, Mozart’s Piano Concerto in C with Yaniv Danur and the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, and Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with Anne Harrigan and the Billings Symphony.

Jorden is pursuing a Master’s degree at The Juilliard School in the studio of Yoheved Kaplinsky. He previously studied with Scott Holden and Stephen Beus while completing his Bachelor’s degree at Brigham Young University, as well as Dorothea Cromley during his high school years. An avid mountain biker and outdoorsman, Jorden believes that time away from the instrument is best spent finding oneself in nature.
