About

Join Ava Shadmani for an hour of casual, friendly exploration of the violin—perfect for both kids and adults! Whether you’re a curious beginner or someone who’s always wanted to try playing the violin, this is your chance to play without any pressure. You will be guided through the basics and get a taste of the violin’s beautiful sound by playing a few tunes together. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm!

The afternoon session is suitable for youth and adults ages 16+. Please bring your own violin.

Ava Shadmani earned her Doctor of Musical Arts in Violin Performance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She studied with David Perry of the Pro Arte Quartet and was awarded a full scholarship position in UW’s prestigious graduate string quartet.

In addition to her performance career, Ava has a rich background in educational outreach and teaching. She has worked with students of all ages, designing programs that make musical learning both accessible and enjoyable. As the Director of Education and Community Engagement at the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Ava oversees a broad array of educational initiatives and concerts. Teaching has always been a cornerstone of Ava’s career; through outreach efforts and private instruction, she has nurtured a love of music in her students, helping them to confidently express their musical ideas and develop their skills.
