Bio

Having shared the stage with internationally renowned artists including Roberta Flack, Eric Roberson, Denyce Graves, and ?uestlove and Black Thought of The Roots, emerging artist Chelsey Alyse Green, The Green Violinist, is certainly “environmentally sound” when it comes to today’s popular music scene. Classically soloing in New York’s prestigious Carnegie Hall at age 16, Green has been honored to perform in many esteemed venues around the world, with several symphonies, and at many churches and congregations across the nation, including two solo performances at The National Missionary Baptist Convention. Recently, Green has performed at the 2010 Washington Post Summer Concert Series, the African American Heritage Festival, the 2010 Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival, and the 2010 DMV Awards where she won Best Alternative Artist. Currently a doctoral student at the University of Maryland and a 2010-2011 Strathmore Artist-In-Residence, Chelsey Green, along with her band The Green Project, have definitely been shaking things up in the Baltimore and D.C. area. By fusing classical music ideas with popular and original songs in various genres, Green wants to allow the unmatched sound of acoustic string instruments to be appreciated in a whole new way. The Green Violinist is a personal patent that certifies her performing as a true representative of who she is and of her life’s passion. “Green” also reveals another interest that has to do with protecting the environment; specifically her desire to help save forests of the endangered Pernambuco Trees in Brazil.
