Viola Performances
and Lessons
from an Experienced Player

Hi! I’m Ken Allen, a full-time freelance violist based in the Boston area. Playing the viola is my way of helping to create more harmony in the world through music, particularly chamber and orchestral music.

What I Can Do for You

Concert Performance

As a versatile performer with extensive experience across a wide range of musical periods, from early music to contemporary works (and the rich repertoire in between), I bring a deep passion and expertise to every ensemble, large or small.

Viola Lessons

My private studio in Cambridge welcomes students of all ages and levels, fostering a supportive environment where the joy of musical discovery is paramount, regardless of prior experience.
