Eileen Ivers: Universal Roots

The New York Times calls Eileen Ivers “The Jimi Hendrix of the violin.” She is the groundbreaking musical star of Riverdance, is Grammy-winning and Emmy-nominated, and she will change the way you think about the violin. Ivers continues to push traditional fiddling boundaries from a folk music staple to a fiercely fresh, powerfully beautiful, intensely driving world stage experience. Over a career spanning more than 40 years, she has performed and/or toured with such diverse artists as Sting, Patti Smith, Al Di Meola, Hall and Oates and The Chieftains and has guest-starred with the London Symphony Orchestra, Boston Pops, over 60 symphony orchestras to date. See her at the Raven on March 15th.
