Freya Creech

British violinist, Freya Creech, enjoys a busy and varied schedule as a soloist, chamber musician, and collaborative artist, on both baroque and modern violin. This season includes performances with GRAMMY-nominated True Concord Voices & Orchestra, Washington Bach Consort, The Thirteen, Opera Lafayette, and Apollo’s Fire. In 2022, Freya recorded a concert video as soloist of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for PBS, which received three EMMY nominations, and she has also produced two albums of little-known solo violin music, featuring composers Sonia Eckhardt-Gramatté and Virgil Thomson.

Freya grew up on the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland, learning the violin with her mother. At the age of ten she entered the Royal Academy of Music, London, where she was awarded the ‘Sir Elton John Scholarship’. Freya completed her Masters’ of Arts degree with distinction at the Mozarteum, Salzburg, as a student of Klara Flieder, and furthered her studies in Kammermusik at the Hochschule für Musik, Hannover (Germany), as first violinist of the Lazarus Quartet. She also studied Historical Performance and Baroque Violin at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. In 2019, Freya embarked on a new journey to America, and currently lives in Washington D.C.
