About Me

Hi! My name is Meg, I'm a classically trained, freelance viola/violinist with a very open mind as well as almost 16 years playing experience. By day, I play chamber music for private functions and weddings and busk at the calgary C train for fun, I also teach other string players how to improvise. By night, I am a session player. Recording for all genres and writing string parts to music. I make guest appearances with bands and sometimes I just go out to jamm and keep sharp. I listen to anything from classical and hip hop and funk, to heavy metal and everything in between. I like music that surprises me. Music that has a message and inspires me to sit down and write. If you need a violist or violinist for a recording, arrangement, or for a live session or for a wedding. And If you are a classically trained musician that wants to learn how to improvise, drop me a line!I have a full amplified set up as well as acoustic. Including preamp, effects pedals and sampling.Feel free to email me at [email protected] for any inquiries.
