Experience the Magic of Celtic & Eastern European Violin

A Journey Through Strings and Cultures

From the tender age of five, Rachel’s fingers danced across the strings of her violin, weaving melodies that spoke of her classical roots. Her journey, however, took a vibrant turn when she embraced the rich tapestries of Celtic and Eastern European music. This passion was ignited during her university years, where she found herself enchanted by the hauntingly beautiful rhythms and stories these genres told. Upon joining her first folk group, Rachel’s love for this music deepened, leading her to perform with renowned ensembles like The Electrocarpathians and Blackthorns Maritime Band. Her performances are a heartfelt tribute to the cultures she cherishes, and her mission is to share this love with audiences far and wide.
