Ledah Finck is a violinist, violist, improviser, and composer based in NYC. A passionate performer, creator, and curator of contemporary classical music, she plays violin with and is a founding member of the contemporary-music string quartet Bergamot Quartet. She participates regularly with a number of other ensembles as a performer and composer, including Tropos (“outer-space chamber music” quartet with a jazz/improvising foundation), Earspace (new music ensemble based in North Carolina), and Freddy & Sally (acoustic duo with Eli Greenhoe, playing original folk-inspired songs). Always seeking playfulness and community in her artistic pursuits, Ledah’s roots in the Blue Ridge Mountains have shaped her creative philosophy and aesthetic.

She has completed studies at the Banff Centre, the Lucerne Festival, Ensemble Moderne’s Klangspuren Academy in Austria, the Aspen Music Festival, and Bang on a Can among others. She holds undergraduate and master’s degrees in violin performance and composition from the Peabody Conservatory, where she studied with Herbert Greenberg, Oscar Bettison, Judah Adashi, and Mike Formanek. In 2022, she graduated from Mannes School of Music’s Graduate String Quartet in Residence fellowship with Bergamot Quartet, mentored by JACK Quartet. She plays a violin, viola, and hardanger d’amore all made by her father, David Finck.
