Hailing from the “wilds of Maine”, Madelyn Morrell is a violinist, Irish traditional fiddle player, budding pedagogue, and emerging academic. After beginning violin at age five, she quickly gained a love for the diverse music cultures that surrounded her. Through performing in numerous orchestras, chamber ensembles, sessions, contra dances, and festivals at a young age, she was instilled with the value of music as an intergenerational and cross-cultural bridge. In her musical journey, Madelyn has explored the solo, chamber, and orchestral repertoire of violin as well as the traditional music of cultures present in her region, specializing in Irish traditional music. Madelyn has studied with many internationally celebrated Irish fiddle players and is now a sought-after Suzuki violin and Irish fiddle teacher, maintaining a busy teaching schedule throughout New England. Madelyn has performed internationally as a finalist in the Fiddler of Oriel (2025), Fiddler of London (2024), and the Fleadh Ceoil (2023, fiddle slow airs). Madelyn is a certified teacher in the Suzuki violin method and holds the Irish traditional music teacher's certificate, Teastas i dTeagasc Ceolta Tíre, from Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. She has recently extended her musical practice into scholarship with her M.A. dissertation titled “Investigating Ed Reavy’s Compositional Legacy Through Arts Practice Research and Musician Perspectives”. B.M. in Performance (violin) from Gordon College; M.A. in Irish Music Studies, Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, University of Limerick.
