Second violinist Tina Lee Hadari has appeared as a soloist with Orchestra Atlanta and has performed in halls worldwide as a chamber musician, including Merkin and Weill Halls in New York, Jordan Hall in Boston, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, the Conservatorium in Rotterdam, and the Vienna Konzerthaus.

Tina began studying violin in the public schools in Indiana at the age of nine, four years after immigrating from Seoul, Korea. After attending high school in Atlanta, GA, she completed her undergraduate studies under a joint double-degree program with the New England Conservatory and Tufts University, where she received a B.M. in Violin Performance and a B.S. in Biology. Upon graduation, she was awarded a Huntington Beebe Fellowship that funded a full year of violin studies in Vienna, Austria. Returning from her training abroad, Tina chose to teach violin for several years in East Harlem, New York at Opus 118, a program that became the subject of the movie, "Music of the Heart." In 2004, she earned her Masters degree at the Yale School of Music, and she has recently achieved ABD status as a Doctoral candidate at the University of Colorado.

Well-versed in a variety of genres, Tina has played contemporary works under Pierre Boulez, Baroque repertoire with Robert Mealy and Tom Koopman, jazz concerts with Regina Carter, Mark OíConnor, and Diane Monroe, and rock concerts under Joni Mitchell and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

As part of the graduate string quartet in residence at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Tina served as an assistant to the Takacs Quartet and studied with Karoly Schranz. Her other principal teachers have been James Buswell, Daniel Phillips, Yair Kless, and Syoko Aki.

Tina happily resides with her new husband in New Haven, CT, where they enjoy jogging around the city together, charting their next gastronomical journey and dreaming about future location sites for Music Haven.
