We are extremely excited to welcome back Emi Tanabe!!!!

From the New York Philharmonic Website:

“Emi Tanabe (violin) enjoys a multifaceted career as a Baroque violinist and a solo crossover artist. In addition to serving as a principal violinist of Apollo’s Fire, she performs with the Chicago-based period groups Haymarket Opera and Third Coast Baroque. She has performed with Apollo’s Fire on tours across the United States and Europe, including such venues as Carnegie Hall, Tanglewood, and the BBC Proms in London. Her facility with world music styles and improvisation has led to solo engagements with tango, flamenco, Celtic, and jazz ensembles across the country. She has appeared with such groups as the renowned Surabhi Ensemble, the Grammy-nominated children’s music band Wendy and DB, and the theater / dinner production Teatro ZinZanni. Tanabe, a native of Japan, holds degrees in violin performance from the University of North Texas and Roosevelt University.”

Not your ordinary player or your ordinary St Paddy's day experience!  Emi will be holding down the fiddle duties with the Celniks for a limited number of performances.  Be sure not to miss it!!!  

Cheers!
