About Yael Bat-Shimon
Yael Bat-Shimon studied violin solo performance in Paris with Mme Miriam Solovieff. She received her BA from Harvard in Literature, specializing in French Feminisms. Yael pursued graduate study in violin performance and contemporary improvisation at the Peabody Institute of Music in Baltimore and at the New England Conservatory in Boston. She also holds an MA in Jewish Studies from Hebrew College. For several years she has been creating and performing music for choreographers of modern dance as well as exploring improvisation both with musicians from non-Western traditions and with performers from different artistic media. In 2005, she founded the interdisciplinary improvisational performance group "Inter Alia." Most recently, Yael has been performing concerts of solo improvisational pieces with the occasional very wonderful guest artist. Karen Campbell of The Boston Globe writes "It's hard to classify this adventurous contemporary violinist's style. She draws from her classical training as well as non-Western musical traditions for ruminative freestyle tunes with a thoughtful perspective."
