David Greenberg

The Canadian-American violinist David Greenberg leads an active career as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestral player, and fiddler. He is widely recognized as a master of Cape Breton fiddle music and is the co-author of an authoritative treatise on the music of this legendary Nova Scotian island, near Halifax, where he resides.

Since the 1990s, David Greenberg has specialized in Scottish Baroque and traditional music—first with his ensemble Puirt A Baroque, and more recently with the groups Concerto Caledonia and Ferintosh. As a Baroque violinist, he has performed and recorded with many of North America’s leading early music ensembles.
