The American jazz violinist Regina Carter has a career that crosses genres. She enjoys performing many styles of music—jazz, R&B, Latin, classical, blues, country, pop, African, and more; in each one, she explores the power of music through the voice of the violin. Recipient of some of the top musical awards in the country, including the MacArthur “genius” award, she has been widely hailed for her mastery of her instrument and her drive to expand its possibilities.
