I am a dedicated violinist with 14 years of study, using music to connect with people I would never have met otherwise.
Michelle-Dallow Elliott is a violinist based in Minneapolis, MN & Wellesley, Massachusetts. A high school senior at The Blake School (graduating June 2025), she has dedicated over a decade to the violin and has performed at prestigious events across the Twin Cities and beyond.
Michelle is a member of KAMOINGE — a string ensemble composed of 10 string players, primarily Black and Latino students. KAMOINGE performs works written by Black artists around the Twin Cities to raise awareness about issues affecting people of color, from environmental justice to police brutality.
