Jinty McTavish – Geneva Music Festival

As remarkably passionate and proficient as she is professional, violinist Jinty McTavish has spent her entire lifetime dedicated to moving the hearts and minds of people all over the world through her music. From her roots in studying under the tutelage of legendary pedagogues like Mauricio Fuks and Almita Vamos, to performing thousands of shows throughout the World, to being a renowned & sought-out session musician, and eventually becoming a teacher herself – Jinty has immersed herself in her craft and spent every spare moment she has perfecting her own powerfully unique style. Through her experiences as concertmaster of the Artemis Chamber Orchestra, and performing as a soloist/chamber musician throughout the storied Chicagoland scene, Jinty has gained a reputation of pure excellence and carved out a career through her ability to make classical music enchanting, exciting, and relevant to an entirely new generation of listeners. As a dedicated member of ATLYS, her work as a composer and arranger has garnered the group millions of streams. Through her innovative improvisations and inspiring ability to shred on her violin like no one else, she has secured her title of resident shredder violinist for the ensemble. When she’s not performing with ATLYS, Jinty is in demand both nationally and abroad for performances in night clubs and bars with DJs. She’s performed and recorded with artists like Guster, Kygo, and Swedish producer Jim Yosef. Seamlessly weaving her way between two realms as the quintessential classical performer by day, and a powerfully dynamic badass who shreds the stage at the clubs by night, Jinty continues to prove that she has a master’s grip on how to make instrumental music captivating for one and all to experience. www.jintymctavish.com
