Anna Phoebe

Most people probably do not know of Anna Phoebe, one of the greatest violinists I have ever heard...which is why I'm posting this.

This year, the TSO East Coast Tour welcomed Anna Phoebe as their string master- best choice ever! Anna used to tour with the West Coast, so we East Coast folk never got to see this amazing artist at work. She is one of the most energetic musicians I have ever seen- you can really tell how much she loves to play the violin and it is clear how much work she has put into it. She can run all across the stage and still play just as well- she can also play while bending backwards and lying on the ground!

She currently has a new album out called Rise of the Warrior and an older albumette called Gypsy, both of which can be purchased through iTunes. I would suggest both albums to anyone looking for something different and GOOD to listen to.

Here is a video of Anna playing a song off of Gypsy, called 99 lives.


You can also check her out in this video (not as good quality) playing a Mozart Medley during the TSO show this year- watch the whole thing!



I'm sure you will hear her and fall in love with her music- so tell everyone you know- this girl deserves to be heard!
