Violinist Clara Mazo is a recent graduate of the Boston Conservatory at Berklee with a master’s degree in Contemporary Violin Performance. Clara has appeared in solo recital at the Shalin Liu Performance Center, the Cape Ann Museum, the Boston Athenæum, the Rockport Art Association, and the Boston Conservatory. She has also participated in numerous festivals across the United States, exploring a wide range of musical traditions from folk and jazz to chamber and orchestral repertoire. She is currently a member of the Venus Quartet, winners of the Boston Conservatory’s 2024–2025 Chamber Music Competition. The quartet has participated in notable summer fellowships, performed at Carnegie Hall, and presented multiple concerts throughout the Boston area. A former student of violinist Sharan Leventhal, Clara has had the privilege of premiering and recording new works by composers from around the world. While she enjoys performing the standard violin repertoire, she is most fulfilled by advocating for music by underrepresented composers and sharing these voices with new audiences.
