Eileen Ivers

Overview

Eileen Ivers will change the way you think about the violin. She's been called a "sensation" by Billboard magazine and "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin" by The New York Times. Grammy awarded, Emmy nominated, the original musical star of Riverdance, and Nine Time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion, Eileen Ivers has established herself as one of the pre-eminent exponents of the fiddle in the world today. Her work is so boldly imaginative and clearly virtuosic that the task of respectfully exploring the traditions and progression of the Celtic fiddle is quite literally on Eileen Ivers' shoulders.

The Washington Post states, "She suggests the future of the Celtic fiddle."
"She electrifies the crowd with a dazzling show of virtuoso playing" says The Irish Times.
