Channa Malkin

**Channa Malkin** is a Dutch violinist, vocalist, and genre-blurring artist known for reimagining classical music with fiery folk, jazz, and alt-rock energy. Born in 1994, she grew up steeped in classical training (she picked up the violin at age 4!) and studied at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, but her work pulses with rebellious creativity. Whether she’s resurrecting Vivaldi concertos with raw intensity (check out *Fury / Mercy*) or weaving storytelling into haunting originals like *This Is Not A Lullaby*, Malkin bridges centuries and cultures. Her live performances, like *Live at Concertgebouw*, showcase her magnetic stage presence, while projects like *Rocking the Cradle* and *Songs of Love and Exile* reflect her Jewish heritage and knack for fusing tradition with modern grit. When she’s not collaborating with her twin sister Jemima or rocking stages with bands like Barokkaners, she’s pushing classical music into thrillingly uncharted territory.
