Hailing from Columbus, OH, genre-defying violinist Christian Howes was classically trained on the string instrument from the age of five; an early signpost of the success that would follow him throughout his life. A soloist with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra at 16. Working with the legendary guitar pioneer Les Paul. Praise and accolades from prestigious jazz publications JazzTimes and Downbeat.

Christian continuously defies the boxed-in expectations of the violin as he gracefully explores genre after genre. He's plucked and bowed his way from one accomplishment to the next without letting personal detours hinder him. As a musician, educator and overall altruistic human being, he unceasingly uses his prodigious talent to expand the lives of others through his teaching and supporting multiple social causes. Our conversation touches on all these areas of his life. Enjoy!
