Elizabeth McCreless, fiddle

Picture
Elizabeth's parents met when her father became a musician for the international folk dance group her mother performed with. When Elizabeth was five, her parents asked her what instrument she would like to play, and she said, "I want to play violin like Daddy!"
She grew up taking classical violin lessons, but also playing folk music at home with her family. Following in her parents' footsteps, Elizabeth does not specialize in one particular style of fiddling, but rather takes inspiration from all the folk traditions of the world. Hailing from Massachusetts, she often plays in a New England style, but is equally happy playing tunes from anywhere--from Odessa, Ukraine to Odessa, Texas.
A U of C alum, Elizabeth helped coordinate the annual U of C Folk Festival for three years while she was a student. There she was exposed to and honored to play with amazing musicians in fiddle styles such as bluegrass, Cajun, old time, and Irish. She has performed intermittently with various folk music and dance groups over the years, including currently playing for and dancing with Pullman Morris and Sword, a Chicago-based English folk dance group.
Elizabeth has a passion for working with young people and is eager to help introduce new fiddlers to the music that means so much to her.

​My son's love for music was deepened through the Hyde Park Suzuki Institute program! He was nurtured with loving and patient teachers who encouraged and motivated him. This is a highly recommended Institute and the director's vision for her students is simply Amazing! Also the parents are very supportive to one another as well as to each other's children...such an AWESOME village for thriving children!
