This hiatus from the rigors of classical concerti set the stage for Zeger’s transformation into musical chameleon. The next year, she resumed violin and won a tenured position in the Austin Symphony. Meanwhile, She got her BA in opera from University of Texas , all while performing at jazz clubs and festivals with her band Leah and the Moonlighters. Zeger began her LA music career in 2010 quickly winning a position in the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and film and tv scoring sessions. She has toured as a solo violinist with Miley Cyrus, Charlie Daniels, Post Modern Jukebox, ELO, Annie Lennox, Rhye, Cee Lo Green, Stevie Wonder, and began touring as a solo violinist/vocalist for Hans Zimmer in 2017. Zeger is also a songwriter with several solo albums to date. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mamasinmusic/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mamasinmusic/support (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mamasinmusic/support)
