Violinist and fiddler Lily Honigberg, born in Washington, D.C., began playing violin at age four and later studied as a teenager at Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Music in Classical Violin Performance (2018) and a Master of Music in Contemporary Improvisation (2020) from the New England Conservatory. She developed an interest in Irish and Scottish music, and deepened that connection by living in County Mayo, Ireland to learn traditional Irish music. Now based in Los Angeles, she has toured with pop-country artist Dasha and has performed at venues including Carnegie Hall, Walt Disney Hall, and the Grand Ole Opry.

He began with bluegrass and jazz gigs across California, then performed at Carnegie Hall, Prague’s Rudolfinum, and Walt Disney Concert Hall as concertmaster of the Santa Monica High School premiere Symphony Orchestra. Today, Connor is a sought-after string artist and arranger in the cinematic music world. His work includes Abbey Road sessions with the London Philharmonia for Eternal Eclipse’s Forgotten Odes, film scores for the 2021 Hazel Dickens documentary titled Don’t Put Her Down, as well as the 2021 dystopian sci-fi film Together Forever. You can also hear his fiddle work on the Dropkick Murphys’ latest Woody Guthrie tribute album.
