Kristen Capp-Bigley

Violinist Kristen Capp-Bigley has been playing the violin for 28 years. She studied classical violin at the University of Akron and Youngstown State University. Kristen often performs with small local ensembles in both classical and folk genres. When she isn’t playing with Parma Symphony you can catch the Kristen + Tiffany duo, two friends who play Celtic music on Fiddle and Harp and also the new local quartet Cleveland Celtic Ensemble. Most of all Kristen loves teaching violin/fiddle and piano to local musicians out of her home, Strongsville Music Workshop and Music Izz Groovy in Parma Heights. Kristen and piper husband, Brian, live in Strongsville with their musical children, James and Kathleen, where they have started a family business sharing their love of music and manufacturing traditional Irish instruments, The Bigley Music Workshop LLC. When not playing music you’ll likely find Kristen out in nature, hiking and watching birds.
