About Julie
Julie started violin at age four through the Suzuki method and never stopped. She went on to earn her Bachelor of Music in violin performance with an emphasis in Suzuki pedagogy at the Hartt School of Music, studying with Linda Fiore, and trained with Jennifer John at the University of Colorado and across two summers at the Aspen Music Festival.
She performs classical with the String Beings and Trio Viva, and stretches into rock, jazz, and fiddle with the southern rock band Southern Comfort, often trading guitar leads on electric fiddle. She is also first violin in the swing band Sven and the Masterful Orchestra.
