Katarzyna Chruscicka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kate (Katarzyna Maria) Chruscicka is a Polish fusion violinist, but she has been classically trained. She has been performing since the age of six when she was a student at a specialist music school in Koszalin, Poland. To continue her studies she moved to England in 2008 to study Music Performance at the University of Leeds.[1] She graduated from Leeds University in 2011 and is now studying for a Masters degree at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) in Manchester. Kate has developed her own 'Fusion' style of performance where she expertly blends different genres of music into one, both after preparation and when improvising on the spot. She plays a classical violin made in Poland by Irena Kozak in 1997, and both a clear electric Vivo2 violin and a clear Vivo2/Crossbow Hybrid violin (both manufactured in England by Ted Brewer).
