Owner and Strolling Violinist - Cincinnati & Raleigh

As a little girl I was inspired to become a wedding violinist after seeing a strolling violinist perform in my hometown of Raleigh, NC. My favorite musical memories include touring the U.K., Austria and the Czech Republic with youth and community orchestras in NC and VA. During the week I manage Elegant Violin and homeschool my kids. Fun fact: I used to be a Spanish teacher and my kids are bilingual!
