My name is Ryn Riley. I am a 18 yo violinist and I love sharing my music.

In 2011, I began learning classical violin through the Suzuki method. This year, I am auditioning for the National Youth Orchestra (NYO-USA), but I am currently pending their acceptance decision. Aside from classical music, I began learning Old-Time and Bluegrass in the fall of 2017 and have enjoyed the integrative culture and rich history of the Appalachian lore. Since then, I joined an Old-time band (Appalachian Roots) and have won numerous fiddle competitions including Galax Fiddlers Convention, Clifftop String Band Festival, SC Fiddlers Championship, and Appalachian State Fiddlers Convention. We opened for The Steep Canyon Rangers (Steve Martin's Band), and Old Crow Medicine Show. Music is a universal language that heals and integrates all types of people regardless of color, age, ability, or belief.
