Abigail Karr received both Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees at Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, studying violin performance with Sergiu Luca. During summers, she participated in the Tanglewood Music Center, the Taos School of Music, the Colorado Music Festival, and the International Baroque Institute at Longy. Since completing her studies at Rice in 2003, she has performed with ensembles in and around her native Boston, including the Handel and Haydn Society, the Rhode Island Philharmonic, and the Boston Ballet. Her interest in historical violin has led to performances under Ton Koopman at Carnegie Hall, with Sergiu Luca as a guest of Houston’s CONTEXT Chamber Ensemble, and with John Holloway in Atlanta’s New Trinity Baroque. An active chamber musician, she is a founding member of Boston Hausmusik and the Sanssouci Quartet, appearing at such venues as the Boston Early Music Festival, the Connecticut Early Music Festival, and the Toronto Music Garden.
