Transcending her humble beginnings involving a macaroni box disguised as a violin, Chloe Fedor has since received critical acclaim for her “lovely, plush, seductive tone” (New York Times), her “soulful, virtuosic” playing and “impeccable technical control” (Opera News). Chloe is artistic advisor and concertmaster of the Baroque series at Lakes Area Music Festival, co-concertmaster of Lyra Baroque Orchestra, a member of the Grammy award-winning ensemble Apollo’s Fire, and frequent soloist with Four Nations Ensemble. In demand for her versatile musicianship, she also appears with groups including The American Classical Orchestra, Carmel Bach Festival, The English Concert, Handel and Haydn Society, Mercury Chamber Orchestra, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Seraphic Fire, Staunton Music Festival, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, Trinity Wall-Street Baroque Orchestra, as well as recurring guest concertmaster roles with Amor Artis and Ensemble Altera.
Chloe earned her Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music and two Master of Music degrees from The Juilliard School, both in modern violin and historical performance. She was a concerto competition winner at both alma maters as well as a laureate of the Performer’s Certificate from The Eastman School and the Juilliard Career Fellowship Grant from The Juilliard School. Her principal teachers include Charles Castleman, Ron Copes, Monica Huggett and Cynthia Roberts.
Chloe’s summer festival appearances include the BBC Proms (England), Caramoor, Carmel Bach Festival, Edinburgh International Festival (Scotland), Festival Dans le Jardins de William Christie (France), Oregon Bach Festival, Ravinia, Sarasota Music Festival, Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival (Germany), Spoleto USA, Tanglewood Music Festival, and Utrecht Early Music Festival (The Netherlands). In 2018, Chloe had the chance to stomp her foot in period costume on Broadway (and play violin) as the onstage violinist in Farinelli and the King, a Shakespeare’s Globe production featuring Sir Mark Rylance and Iestyn Davies. Chloe was raised in Miami, FL and is now based in Toronto, ON.
