Randwülf showed early musical talent by age 9, and learned to play more than a dozen instruments in his youth.  By age 12, his tutor was "borrowing" him in the middle of his school day, taking him to primary, junior high, and high schools in surrounding towns, filling their auditoriums with students to hear him perform.  At 14, he began performing annually at the Augustana College Choral Orchestra Festivals, and began composing music.  By age 15, he was a violist with both the Saint Ambrose College Chamber Orchestra, and with the Tri-City Youth Symphony Orchestra.  And by 16, he was a returning member of three separate symphonies, played oboe in concert band and viola in a Renaissance quartet, entered piano competitions, tutored students barely younger than himself, and played a European concert tour!

At 16, Randwülf was invited without audition to attend the prestigious Symphony School of America.  And by age 17, he had performed with concertmasters of the New York Philharmonic, the Florida Symphony, the Jackson Symphony, the Alabama Symphony, and many prominent musicians from other major U.S. symphonies; as well as instructors and students with the Juilliard School of Music.   He performed under conductors from Romania, Germany, Italy and Estonia, just to name a few, and played an outdoor concert for more than 10,000 people!  He added pipe organ to his repertoire, and played viola in a theatre pit orchestra.  At age 18, he was presented a Presidential Award for Academic Achievement, signed by the president of the United States, and remains the only student in the history of his high school ever to be featured alone on the cover of the senior yearbook.

At University, Randwülf studied music under his mentor Richard von Grabow, played in the university symphony under the direction of Lawrence Burkhalter, was a  violist with a Beethoven quartet supervised by renown cellist George Work, and studied pipe-organ with Lynn Zeigler.  The symphony performed some of Randwülf's music, as did the two groups he founded: the UFO (Underground Fidelity Orchestra), and The Electric String Torque-tet.  Before graduating from college, Randwülf managed to squeeze in his career's 500th live performance.

After graduation, Randwülf produced 4 CD's of his own piano & New Age compositions, quickly reaching audiences in 16 countries around the world.  His songs have aired on the radio program "Music to Heal the Heart", and found an unexpected market in Japan's field of psychological research, due to their amazing therapeutic affects!    [mrt]
