Aryeh Frankfurter's musical endeavors began at the age of three when he undertook classical training on the violin. His progress enabled him to study under various master violinists, including concert master of the Chicago Symphony. He later earned a degree in philosophy but discovered the Celtic harp and was much happier as a street performer than an associate professor. Over the interceding years he discovered his love for International music genres and taught himself to play a variety of instruments including electric violin, viola, cello, guitar, cittern, hammered dulcimer and more recently the Swedish Nyckelharpa. He works full time as a performer, soundtrack composer and audio engineer. He has 18 albums to his credit and two books, tours often as a solo artist and with Lisa Lynne, Patrick Ball, and The Windham Hill Winter Solstice Concert series.
