Master fiddler Mari Black draws from jazz, tango, folk, Western classical, as well as Celtic, American, and Canadian fiddling. Her performances take listeners on a musical journey exploring the diversity and celebrating commonalities in the dance-driven folk musics of the world, and for this show she's bringing her World Fiddle Ensemble to Pasadena for a show called Fiddling Around the World. The show is a high-energy tour of fiddle music from all different corners of the globe, featuring origin stories with Mari as the musical tour guide.

She has won numerous contests and honors, and her passion for the fiddle knows no bounds. From her hometown of Boston she has played concerts in Scotland, Brazil, Canada, China, Korea, Zimbabwe, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy, and France, and she can't wait for the next stop!

She has played folk venues, jazz concert series, Argentine tango festivals, and world-famous classical concert venues including Carnegie, and has has appeared with such diverse artists as Irish fiddle champion Liz Carroll, Americana master Mark O'Connor, and jazzman Willie Ruff.

Audiences are taken not just by her musical prowess, but also her passion and energy. Dr. John Turner, 10-time U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion, said, "Mari Black is an extraordinary musician; her sound is musical enthusiasm personified."
