The Three Voices of the Violin in Fort Wayne: Confluence of Sound!

Fort Wayne, IN, affectionately known as "The Summit City," is uniquely positioned at the confluence of three rivers: St. Marys, St. Joseph, and Maumee. Mirroring this geographical blend, the city's musical scene creates a harmonious confluence of three distinct violin traditions, offering vibrant opportunities for violinists of every style and skill level.
Classical Excellence: Timeless Echoes in Fort Wayne
At the heart of Fort Wayne's classical violin presence stands the renowned Fort Wayne Philharmonic, enchanting audiences at historic venues such as the Embassy Theatre. This beautifully preserved venue, rich in acoustical and historical significance, provides aspiring violinists with inspiration and a glimpse into classical music's grandeur. Local institutions such as Purdue University Fort Wayne offer comprehensive violin instruction through its Community Arts Academy. Notable instructors include Marcy Trentacosti, who has been a full-time section violinist in the Fort Wayne Philharmonic since 1976 and conducts the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Youth Concert Orchestra. Trentacosti graduated from Indiana University in 1981 with a Bachelor of Music Education and received her MM in violin performance from Bowling Green State University in 2008. She also teaches Annette Colgrove, a Fort Wayne native who began teaching violin in 1986 and currently plays violin with the Purdue Fort Wayne orchestra.
Midwestern Roots: Folk and Fiddle Traditions
Fort Wayne also celebrates the violin’s vibrant folk and fiddle traditions deeply embedded in Midwestern culture. Annual events like the Johnny Appleseed Festival at Johnny Appleseed Park showcase talented local fiddle players, capturing the lively and spirited sounds of traditional American music. This genre connects the community through shared heritage, providing violinists opportunities to embrace the warmth and charm of folk music while honing their skills in an authentic, community-oriented environment.
