Eleanor Markey

Eleanor Markey began her violin studies at the age of three with Suzy Perelman in New York City. Since moving to Boston, she has studied at NEC Preparatory School with Magdalena Richter, and, currently, with Robyn Bollinger.
        She has twice won first place in NEC Prep’s open concerto competition, performing Sarasate’s Zigeunerweisen with NEC Prep’s Junior Repertory Orchestra in 2018. She has also earned first place honors in multiple divisions of the Massachusetts Music Teachers Association Bay State Contest.
        Eleanor developed a love of chamber music at Greenwood Music camp and has been a member of NEC Prep’s Chamber Music Intensive Performance Seminar —also known as “CHIPS” — since its inception. Her chamber group, Trio Giocoso, was featured on the NPR program From the Top.
        Eleanor’s recent festival activities include Heifetz International Music Institute, New York String Orchestra Seminar, and Online Solo Strings Intensive.
        In addition to classical music, Eleanor enjoys traditional fiddling, and she has performed at locations in Massachusetts and West Virginia. When she is not playing the violin, Eleanor can be found writing, reading, or hanging out with her three younger brothers and their big fluffy dog.
