Beth’s formal musical training began at the age of three (both her dad and mom are professional pianists), and continued through her years at Bennington College, under the mentorship of renowned violinist Diane Pascal. During her high school years, Beth discovered her gift for improvisation, and received widespread acclaim with her eclectic quartet, “String Beam”. This led her to explore many genres of music; folk, gypsy, African Roots Reggae, Flamenco, jazz, and funk.
Since then, Beth has performed and recorded with artists of all kinds, and is noted for her soulful melodies and her ability to fit beautifully into a wide variety of musical settings. Additionally, she has been teaching the violin privately to both adults and children for more than two decades. Beth’s passion for natural medicine and yoga have led her to approach music as a vehicle for healing, and she seeks to share this essence with every stroke of her bow. She draws from her diverse musical background and life experience to create a unique sound, infused with her personal brand of magic. She recorded and toured extensively with the DeGrazia Band in Tucson, AZ, for 15 years before relocating to Western MA. Beth’s current projects include performing with the rock band 5 Pound Horse; writing and recording with her husband, Phil Lipman; and digging into the classics with renowned cellist, Paul de Jong, and pianist Michael Daunis.
