Edwin Culver

From heavy metal to the concert hall: In 2010 the Hillsdale College classical music community was upset when a new guitarist arrived on the scene. His name was Edwin Culver, and he was described by many as a "young, passionately outspoken, but long-haired heavy metal-head" who'd never read a note of music in his life.

However, beginning with the time he spent under the tutelage of New York City award-winning composer Mathew Fuerst, Edwin quickly earned the respect and admiration of his peers, teaching others how there's more to music than what first meets the ear.
Drawing from his own real-world experience of discovering classical music for the first time, he's helped countless others unlock an appreciation and love for what's often considered 'boring, stuffy, and outdated music.' Recently, one audience member remarked after Culver's performance, "He's a bright and talented young man with the ability to educate his audience whether they're novice or experienced in music."

Since the start of his performing career, Edwin has worked tirelessly under the belief that "everyone loves classical music… they just don't know it yet!" — bringing the beauty of classical music to all who will listen by working his way up from modest venues in his hometown to his International Debut in China in 2017.
