Meg Hamilton
Meg studied music at Edinburgh University and Trinity College of Music, London. In 2002, she won a Millennium award through the Jewish Music Institute to study the authentic performance of klezmer fiddle. When studying classical violin with an Israeli teacher in Berlin, she discovered the thriving German Jewish music scene there. Meg now plays in several other styles (including Arab, Turkish and Greek). She has jammed with Roma musicians in Turkish restaurants and Greek bazouki players on the Greek island of Hydra; more formally, she has performed with Nitin Sawhney, the Bombay Dub Orchestra, Joglaresa, Oi Va Voi and as the fiddler in Fiddler on the Roof at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre in 2006, which transferred to London’s West End.
