David Greenberg, baroque violin (Halifax)
Canadian-American violinist David Greenberg enjoys a busy career as soloist, chamber musician, orchestral musician, and folk fiddler. He is recognized as a master Cape Breton fiddler, and he co-authored the definitive treatise on the music from that legendary Nova Scotian island near his Halifax home. Since the 1990s Mr. Greenberg has specialized in Scottish baroque-folk music, first with his group Puirt A Baroque and currently with the trio Ferintosh and Glasgow’s Concerto Caledonia.
As a baroque violinist, Mr. Greenberg has performed and recorded with many of the best North American early music ensembles, including Les Voix humaines, Toronto’s Tafelmusik, Cleveland’s Apollo’s Fire, and the Seattle Baroque Orchestra. Many critically acclaimed recordings have resulted from these classical and folk music collaborations. In addition, Mr. Greenberg performs occasionally as a guest artist with modern orchestras, both as a guest director and as violin soloist in works such as Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
