Violinist Chloé Trevor has managed to seamlessly combine brilliant playing with an expert command of social media to reach a new generation of musicians and music fans alike. She is an accomplished performer who has played concertos all over the world, but I first discovered Trevor’s playing as many others have: on Instagram. With an impressive following of nearly 160,000, Trevor is able to share her daily life as a musician and offer practice tips to a large audience. Her ability to be vulnerable in both her playing and in stories about her personal life make Trevor easily relatable. The classical music world can often feel isolating to young musicians, and Trevor acts as a supportive, insider friend, offering guidance and behind-the-scenes looks into the world of a professional musician. Trevor has made her life and work even more accessible by recently starting the Chloé Trevor Music Academy, a summer music program for string players and pianists whose ages range from middle school to college-age. With equal parts artistry and entrepreneurship, Chloé Trevor is paving the way toward making classical music accessible for a new generation.
