Sarah-Jane Summers

The fifth generation of her family on the same farm on the outskirts of Inverness, Sarah-Jane Summers comes from a background of fiddle players and makers and was brought up steeped in the local tradition. Taught by the late, great Donald Riddell, she has a deep understanding of the old Highland fiddle style. Equally at home on the Norwegian hardanger fiddle, her fresh, unique, lyrical sound has been described as ?lush Highland fiddle music with a Nordic twist? (Cromarty Old Brewery Arts Centre).

Her recently-released debut solo album, Nesta, has received great reviews and has placed her firmly on the map as one of Scotland?s top young fiddle players. Highly sought-after as a fiddle tutor, Sarah-Jane is the principal tutor at the RSAMD Junior Academy and teaches regularly world-wide.
