Christmas Fiddle and Fun: A Conversation with Eileen Ivers
Eileen Ivers has been called “the Jimi Hendrix of the violin,” as reported by the New York Times. A master of the violin, which is also known to be a fiddle, dependent on the way in which it is played, Ivers is known to be the pre-eminent exponent of the Irish fiddle in the world today.
Grammy-awarded and Emmy-nominated, Ivers has guest starred with over 50 orchestras, toured with the likes of Sting, Hall and Oates, and The Chieftains, founded her own group called Cherish the Ladies, composed for movie soundtracks like “Gangs of New York,” and performed for Presidents and Royalty worldwide.
Today, Jersey Arts speaks with Eileen Ivers in advance of her upcoming Christmas show, "A Joyful Christmas" at the Raritan Valley Community College on December 15, 2023.
