About
Freya Downey, violist, advocates for mindfulness, accessibility, and creativity in classical music through classical performance, improvisation, and composition. Her most recent performances include a solo viola recital entitled “All is Well,” a faculty recital at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute, and solo improvisations at the Transporter Series in Boston, MA. Her work as a soloist was featured in Project Pause: 4 recitals in 8 months, founded in Oklahoma, to explore connective performances and expand awareness of her instrument as a soloist voice in a format that is welcoming and accessible for all. She has performed at Carnegie Hall as both a soloist and a chamber musician, alongside her previous quartet. In her free time, Freya can be found spending time with her dog, reading, and working with fiber arts.
Music
I play classical music from Bach to Caroline Shaw; I specialize in contemporary viola performance, however I particularly enjoy playing repertoire from the early 1900's, and late romantic era.
