Show Description

Notably eclectic/electric violinist Erik Johnson-Scherger returns for a transcendental evening of effect-laden Solstice ambience. Expect loops, vibes, and melodies both ancient and new.

Bios

Erik Johnson-Scherger is a forward-looking violinist and violist, happily based in Ottawa, Ontario. As a performer, he is a genre-defying chamber-musician at home in liminal space. As a pedagogue, he believes strongly in helping his students self-actualize by connecting to and developing their own musical voice, and by creating an audiation-centred framework for effortless physical execution.  Erik is grateful to have played a diverse array of venues - from local festivals and farmer's markets to Massey Hall and the National Arts Centre - and maintains an active performing schedule as a member of Musk Ox, Side-Eye & Grace, Norteno, Phosphor String Duo, ELK Trio, and more. His teaching practice includes positions at Carleton University and SuzukiMusic, in addition to a healthy private studio. When not at work, you can usually find Erik experimenting with cookie recipes, playing with his cat Tofu, and running TTRPG games.

Accolades

Erik has played Massey Hall backing Charlotte Cardin.  His most recent sold-out show was a classical duo concert at WiseTown Cafe.
