Viola Performances Chamber & Orchestral

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. I love helping to bring that music to life from the magical middle and my goal is always to be the most supportive colleague I can be no matter where I happen to be sitting in an ensemble.

What I Offer

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.
