Jeff Neil
Jeff started his musical career on the viola in the public school system at age nine. He continued his studies at St. Olaf College, earning a B.M. in Viola Performance in 2004 under the direction of Charles Gray. There he performed as the principal violist with the St. Olaf Orchestra as well as toured with the St. Olaf Choir conducted by Anton Armstrong.
Continuing his education, Jeff received a full scholarship for his Master’s Degree, studying under Jonah Sirota with the Chiara String Quartet at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Winning an audition with Lincoln’s Symphony Orchestra his second year, he was also invited and studied with Roger Myers at the Central Conservatory in Beijing, China.
After performing in an international showcase hosted in 2013 in Poland, Jeff began headlining on a major cruise line, performing on a 5-stringed electric violin with his identical twin brother, Stephen. Together they have performed all over the world as the Synergy Twins, bringing electrifying performances to a wide variety of venues and audiences.
STEPHEN NEIL
Stephen began playing the violin at age nine. His love of music led him to Furman University where he earned a degree in Music Education in 2008.
While pursuing a career in teaching, Stephen also maintained a busy performance schedule both as concertmaster of the Carolina Pops Orchestra and as a solo electric violin artist which led him to pioneer the classical violin crossover movement.
In 2013 he joined forces with his twin brother Jeff, co-founding Synergy Twins and began a career performing solely on electric instruments, playing for national festivals and sporting events, as well as high end cruise ships and upscale weddings.
“The Synergy Twins allowed me to have them perform at my brewery event. The passion they showed with every passing note just puts a smile on your face. I’m glad to call them friends and can’t imagine a Sunday patio party without them.”
