Urban Strings/ Caroviolina from Jorge Borges-Ibanez on Vimeo.
More than just a violinist...........a glamourous and exciting musical showgirl!
Her live sets include dance, contemporary, rock, jazz and latin melodies.
Since graduating from the Leeds College of Music with a BA Hons in Jazz and Latin music in 2002, her career to date has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. Amongst the many memorable highlights, she has worked on TV/Radio,festivals and I've even run away with the circus - not once, but three times!
Caroline's a real people person, enthusiastic and friendly and, more than that, she just loves to perform! Proud to say she does not come from a musical background/family but has worked hard to create a performance that will mesmerise and transfix you from her world full of passion and creativity.

"Hi Caroviolina,
I don't usually reply to messages.
It's encouraging to see (and hear!) a beautiful woman who is also talented. A lot of young women just focus on looks and money to go places rather than education and talent.
More postive role models like you are needed. I think you are exceptionally skilled and bring something fresh and new to the music scene. I hope your success continues.
Best wishes
