Julie Andrijeski, violin

Recently lauded for her "invigorating verve and imagination" by the Washington Post, Julie Andrijeski is among the leading baroque violinists in the U.S. She is a full-time member of the early-music trio, Chatham Baroque, an award-winning ensemble that performs throughout the Americas. In addition, Ms. Andrijeski regularly appears with several other baroque groups including, among others, Cleveland's Apollo's Fire, the Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra, Cecilia's Circle, Spiritus Collective, and the King's Noyse. Ms. Andrijeski's unique performance style is greatly influenced by her knowledge and skilled performance of baroque dance, and she often teaches both violin and dance at workshops. She has been on the faculty of the Baroque Performance Institute at the Oberlin Conservatory for over a decade and will teach at the Madison Early Music Workshop again this year. Ms. Andrijeski received her Doctorate of Musical Arts degree in Early Music from Case Western Reserve University in May 2006. Previous degrees include a B.M. in Violin Performance from the University of Denver (1985) and an M.M. in Violin Performance from Northwestern University (1986). She has recorded extensively, and awaits the release of Chatham Baroque's most recent recording project, sonatas from Prothimia suavissima, on Dorian Recordings.
