Celia Lawley, the Fiddle Girl
July’s free family music program sponsored by the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library will be held in the community room. Celia Lawley, the Fiddle Girl, will perform Irish, Cajun, bluegrass, gypsy, Greek, and other violin music in a program lasting 45 minutes.
Celia’s love of music started at age five with lessons in violin, piano, and voice. She graduated from the USC School of Music with a degree in violin performance and then began performing popular styles of music including country, bluegrass, Latin jazz, rock, blues, Cajun, and Celtic. This led to performances throughout the United States and Canada on TV and at fairs, festivals, and concerts, including ones at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede, Pacific Northwest Exhibition, National Rodeo Finals, SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo, and Ramona Bluegrass Festival. She has also performed at many libraries and other venues in Southern California as a solo act and with various bands.
