My name is Jana Kaminsky and I am a German/American Violinist currently based between Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. I play with the Greenville Symphony, Venice Symphony, and the Palm Beach Symphony. I completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in violin performance at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music in Montreal, Canada, and afterwards, I completed a Performance Diploma at Indiana University, the Jacobs School of Music.
I started playing violin when I was five years old, and continued to take lessons and perform through elementary, middle, and high school. I led multiple orchestras as concertmaster, appeared as a soloist with orchestras and in recitals, and performed in competitions and festivals on both the east and west coasts of North America. I won prizes in competitions like the Seattle Young Artists Music Festival, the Performing Arts Festival of the Eastside (first place), and the Boston University Tanglewood Institute. I later on also broadened my studies by playing viola, piano, guitar, studying composition, and singing as a soloist in choirs.
