About Vicki Richards

Vicki Richards is a violinist, improviser, composer and educator whose professional career spans more than four decades. Her musical roots and training are in traditional North Indian raga, classical European music and electric fusion. She began playing professionally with an orchestra while also playing electric avant-garde fusion.

She started in her public school's instrumental program at nine, encouraged by her musical father, and decided at fourteen that music was her calling. She later commissioned a custom-built solid-body electric violin. Her study of Hindustani music took her to Banaras, India, where she became a disciple of Pt. Amarnath Mishra, and she also studied with violinist Dr. N. Rajam and Pandit Sharda Sahai. Grants from the American Institute of Indian Studies and the Smithsonian Institution supported her studies in India, and she later toured for the Festival of India.
