Born in Brooklyn, New York, Malachi started studying the violin at four years of age. He formerly was a student of Sharan Leventhal at the Boston Conservatory of Music, where he finished his Bachelors in Violin Performance. He has also studied at Boston University for his Masters in Violin Performance with professor Bayla Keyes. Malachi is driven and curious to explore all genres and styles of music. Aside from the more traditional classical training that has been his focus, he spends a great deal of time playing and listening to all types of folk music and jazz. Having spent many summers at Marc O’Connor’s fiddle camps Malachi has a deep love for traditional Irish and bluegrass music and appreciates the creative innovations currently being made in these styles. Malachi loves to perform, and plays professional gigs all over the New England and tri state area. He was also strongly impacted by the many teachers he studied with, and it is his dream to be that positive influence for his own students and others; spreading joy through the love of music!
