Ledah Finck is a musician whose aesthetic knows no boundaries. Since her childhood in North Carolina when she began to extensively study and perform classical and fiddle music, she has performed a wide range of music including her own compositions, is active in jazz and chamber music groups, and is an accomplished improviser.

An active supporter of contemporary music, her performance experience includes chamber music concerts of new works alongside university and conservatory faculty members, most recently the second-ever performance of a string quartet by Donnacha Dennehy with Courtney Orlando of Alarm Will Sound and Michael Kannen of the Brentano Quartet, a performance which will be repeated in the fall at Princeton University. She has played in the Appalachian Symphony and Philharmonic Orchestras, University of North Carolina symphonies, the Durham Symphony, the Aspen Festival Orchestra, the ASTA National Honors Orchestra, and the Peabody Concert and Symphony Orchestras. In 2011 she took grand prize in the collegiate division of the University of Delaware International Strings Competition, and was a soloist in 2013 with the Durham Symphony. She was selected as a finalist for the Peabody Institute’s Yale Gordon concerto competition and William Marbury recital competition.

Currently, Ledah is a member of The Witches, a flute/violin duo that commissions new works as the heart of a modular ensemble and also works extensively with free improvisation exploring larger social contexts, mentored by Courtney Orlando and Michael Formanek. She performs regularly around Baltimore as an improviser, and in addition to that and her classical performance endeavors,
she has been a core member of a variety of bands. In that role she has appeared on North Carolina Public Radio and on Garrison Keillor’s solo show, and has made appearances at major folk festivals such as Merlefest, the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, and Shakori Hills. She is also a member of free jazz quartet The Gardening Club and gypsy jazz band Oopsy Boopsy.
