Jade McClellan, Violin

Violinist Jade McClellan is an Atlanta native who began playing the violin after her mom asked if she would be interested in learning the instrument. At the time, she didn't even know what a violin was! That simple yes set her on an exciting musical path on which she has performed in the United States and Japan, and the Czech Republic. She has organized musical events and fundraisers to use music as a tool for good. Her favorite venues to perform are at churches and in nursing homes to share healing and love through music. An engaging soloist and chamber musician, she is currently studying with Kurt Sassmannshaus at the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. She previously studied under Carla Trynchuk at Andrews University. She is also a passionate and creative teacher and sharing the joy of music with children is one of her greatest joys. In her free time, she enjoys spending time in nature with her dog.
