About Leanne Darling 

Leanne Darling creates a powerful new voice for the viola. She draws from her classical technique, her skills in many musical genres, and her passion for improvisation to break the boundaries of this underused instrument. Darling creates her own unique solo viola compositions using the entire scope of her instrument, mixing more traditional sounds with electric-sounding effects. Using a sampling and looping device, Darling generates layers of sound—from lyrical melodies to driving rhythms and textures—simulating a whole room full of musicians. The layers are improvised as well as planned, making each performance distinctive. Her musical style ranges from minimalist to free jazz, modern classical, blues, and Arabic music.
