The future of string music in performance, education, and composition.
VÖLUR
A heavy metal trio that features my electric violin work alongside Lucas Gadke (bass) and Justin Ruppel (drums).

— Vice Noisey

“21st-century eclectics, ...plain-old rambunctious whimsy... guaranteed to put a smile on your face.”
— Toronto Star
