Violinist Allison Taylor first picked up the instrument at age two, inspired by her violinist father. Her musical journey later took her to India, where she discovered the versatile ways the violin can be played, including playing the Carnatic violin, broadening her understanding of the instrument’s expressive possibilities. Taylor also collaborates with composer Valerie Coleman and explores musical interpretation and the deeper stories that lie behind the notes.
