An artist whose playing has been hailed as “highly idiomatic, richly varied,” Mexican-Canadian violist Danielle Wiebe Burke’s work as a performer and educator has been recognized since her debut with the Calgary Civic Symphony at sixteen. Danielle was a prizewinning finalist at the 15th Sphinx Competition and, recently, a quarter-finalist in the Primrose International Viola Competition. She has appeared in Boston’s Phoenix Orchestra, the Richmond Symphony, and the Williamsburg Symphony. A student of Kim Kashkashian at NEC and Ettore Causa at Yale, Danielle enjoys bringing music to differing audiences. She has performed Bach in the botanical gardens at Cornell, toured Cassadó’s string quartets across the East Coast, and co-assembled an introduction to music that is available across the world through Yale Open Courses. She teaches violin and viola at VCU.
