New violinist announced Athena Octavia.
"Athena loves incorporating her passion for many different genres of music into her performances, and with her highly trained ear is able to improvise in many styles from RnB, pop and jazz to EDM and even dubstep. " This could be interesting! She'll also lower the average age by about 10 years just by turning up... and possibly cause a heart attack or two amongst some of the audience.
What happened to the last new violinist?
Well, there have been two (Jessie Mae Smart and Violeta Vicci) doing a 'job-share' the last few years, both with young families, I think. So maybe neither could make this tour?
