“Mari Black is an extraordinary musician; her sound is musical enthusiasm personified.”

Dr. John Turner, 10-time U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion.

 

"Superb, inspiring, and unforgettable! Her magic is such that she sweeps audiences along with the sounds she and her instrument make."

— Willie Ruff, Director of the Ellington Fellowship Jazz Series, Yale University

 

 Called “one of the brightest fiddlers around today” (Brian O’Donovan, WGBH radio’s A Celtic Sojourn), multi-style violinist and champion fiddler Mari Black delights audiences around the world with her energetic playing, sparkling stage presence, and dazzlingly virtuosic fiddling. 

 

Mari's dynamic performances are infused with her sense of playfulness and deep love of the history behind the music, as she weaves together driving dance tunes with beloved stories that bring the music to life. Walk into any of her shows, and you’re pretty much guaranteed to see people out of their seats and dancing in the aisles!
