Additional Info:

Athena is a professional freelance musician, based in London, who graduated with distinction from both Oxford University (studying music) and the Royal Academy of Music (MA in Violin Performance). She holds diplomas in both violin and piano, and has extensive performing experience across many genres in both instruments.

In London her work includes performing with bands, from her own original indie folk band Iris and Steel, who were invited by George Ezra to perform at at Latitude this year, to performing with other artists such as Ed Sheeran and Nahli, to performing at many private functions and events across the UK and internationally. She is just about to join Steeleye Span on their November 2023 UK tour, performing both violin and backing vocals with them.

Athena has been teaching music for over 10 years and regularly accompanies both her own and external students for exams. Athena is also a keen improviser and sight-reader on both piano and violin and with her experience playing in many different genres is able to be extremely versatile. Her high level of violin playing makes her an extremely sympathetic accompanist who is also able to help with musical direction.

She is sociable and believes the main purpose of music is for it to be enjoyed!
