Michèle Walther with her unique One-Woman-Orchestra performs music by Piazzolla, Corelli, The Beatles, and her own compositions on violin, voice and live looping. Her pieces are an innovative blend of world music, jazz, and classical; her music is a journey of the soul and evokes deep emotions. Born in Switzerland and now living in San Francisco, the violinist creates highly individual and deeply melodic original compositions that use electronic live loops, effects, and her voice. “A rare combination of classical precision and improvisational skill that includes a real feel for melody.”
Violinist Michèle Walther is a performer, composer, arranger, and educator from Switzerland and San Francisco. Michèle has performed in venues throughout Europe and North America with Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull, Gloria Estefan, Joe Lovano, Oscar Stagnaro (Paquito D’Rivera), Pablo Ablanedo Septet (jazz, latin), Basel Sinfonietta, Mark Feldman, LaMuseMent, and more. Recent performances include Resonance at SFJazz Center and Yoshi’s, and “A Living Tribute to Carla Bley” at the SFJazz Center, where she was featured in “Birds of Paradise”. You can also find her music in the documentary “Not Without Us”.
Ms. Walther earned her M.M. at the Conservatory of Music in Basel, Switzerland, and later graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, majoring in jazz violin performance.
In her spare time, you can find her hiking, meditating, or watching out for dolphins.
