Chicago-born violinist Rabia Brooke brings extraordinary range to the stage as a concerto soloist, chamber musician, and champion of new music, with a special emphasis on elevating the voices of female composers. She has given world premieres by Jennifer Higdon and Clarice Assad, and has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Ravinia Festival, and across Europe, most recently on a 2026 tour of Germany and Switzerland with renowned concert pianist Claire Huangci. She is founding Artist-in-Residence of Nova Linea Musica and holds a BM from The Juilliard School.
