An accomplished concert violinist, educator, filmmaker, and entrepreneur, Boston Conservatory at Berklee graduate Quinton Morris is a multifaceted talent. The director of chamber and instrumental music and assistant professor of music at Seattle University, Morris is only the second living African American violinist to receive a tenured professorship in U.S. history. Morris is also the founder of Key to Change, a nonprofit providing music instruction to underserved youth and students of color in his native Washington State, and he has received numerous accolades, including the Governor’s Arts Award for his success with the documentary film The Breakthrough(Opens in a new window).
“My career could have never happened without coming here,” said Morris. “I am so appreciative to the people at Berklee who believed in me, who saw me as a person and valued my opinions. They passed on so many things that I can now pass on to so many countless other people.”
