Caroline Giassi, (she/her), a native New Yorker, began her musical studies on a Cracker Jack box violin at the age of three.

She performs with many top early music ensembles such as The Sebastians, The American Classical Orchestra, Handel & Haydn Society, Opera Lafayette, Chatham Baroque, Pegasus Early Music, and is an American Fellow of the English Concert. In addition to performing, Caroline is a dedicated educator and has worked with students ranging from second graders in New York City public schools to undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Michigan where she is a continuing guest artist teaching baroque oboe and coaching performance practice.
