Fra Rustumji

violinist/violist

London-based violinist/violist performing a wide variety of genres

I perform frequently with the Multi-Story Orchestra, Chineke! and Shadwell:Opera.

I run education projects and workshops for those organisations too. I also teach violin in 2 south London schools.

I work frequently with poets, spoken-word artists, dancers, theatre groups and improvisors, most notably at King’s Place as part of the Venus Unwrapped festival with poets Sabrina Mahfouz and Hibaq Osman alongside cellist Abel Selaocoe.

I am freelance session musician, and have recorded for film, TV, and radio.

Project partnerships and collaborators: 

Multi-Story

Shadwell:Opera

Engines Orchestra

Chineke!

Clod Ensemble

I love to improvise, and to explore collaborations between genres. Working with young people to allow them to express themselves freely through music and art is integral to my practice, and that’s why I work with the groups mentioned above.
