Olivia Skaja first performed for Tuesday Summer Concerts at age 11. At that time, she could deliver 45 minutes of classical music from memory like a seasoned pro. Her goal-- to be the world's greatest violinist; her process--practice eight hours a day.
Now at 16 Olivia performs throughout the area several times a week and continues to work toward her goal. That goal has broadened to include bluegrass, Celtic, etc. and she's learned to play not just to but with her audience.
Accompanied by her mother Deena, who plays with Itasca Orchestra and Itasca Brass, and sister Kaitlin on the guitar, Olivia may also share her vocal music. Every performance reveals a bit more about the musician Olivia Skaja and the wonderful family support she enjoys.
