Vivaldi Violin Concerto in A minor
Eden Pawlos is a senior at Kentridge High School. She began at the Key to Change Studio three years ago, learning how to play the violin over Zoom. Since then, she has blossomed into a rising star within the program. She was the first-place winner of the Jessie Montgomery Senior Division at the annual Key to Change Solo String Festival. She has also performed as a soloist with the Seattle Symphony, the Northwest Symphony, UW Philharmonia, and Federal Way Symphony. Furthermore, Eden had the honor of performing for the First Lady of the United States, Dr. Jill Biden, and this past June also performed for Vice President Kamala Harris.
When not playing the violin, Eden loves painting and spending time with friends and family. She plays on a violin made by David Van Zandt, and studies with Dr. Quinton Morris and Noah Geller.
