A native of Southern California, violinist Kristen Autry has traveled extensively in her music career to such places as Taiwan, Europe, Egypt and Central America. Kristen’s talents are versatile as she easily moves from her bluegrass roots, since the age of five, to classical, 20th century, electronic and rock music. When not touring, she is busy teaching, recording, or contracting. Committed to a high level of public school music education, she and her flute quartet, Bella Musica, maintain a busy musical outreach program schedule in addition to their recital season. She also enjoys working with and scouting young musicians and is the Special Events Music Coordinator for the Young Musicians Foundation, Los Angeles, CA. Kristen holds music degrees from Pepperdine University, Malibu, CA and California State University, Long Beach, CA. Please visit www.kristenautry.com and www.liquidelbow.com
