We can't wait to hear what Caitlin and the SSO have in store for us! Read more about this remarkable artist on the Salisbury Symphony's post.

Meet the Artist! Caitlin Warbelow:

A dynamic and genre-crossing violinist, Caitlin Warbelow is best known to many audiences as the original onstage fiddler in the Tony Award–winning Broadway musical Come From Away. Her performances there and across North America have showcased not only her technical brilliance but also her ability to connect storytelling and music in a way that feels immediate and human.

Equally at home in classical, folk, and theatrical settings, Warbelow has built a career that bridges traditions. She has appeared as a soloist with orchestras across the country and is a sought-after collaborator for programs that blend symphonic sound with vernacular styles. Her playing draws deeply from Celtic and American fiddle traditions, bringing rhythmic vitality, improvisatory flair, and a sense of spontaneity that energizes both musicians and audiences.

For her performance with the Salisbury Symphony at Pops at the Post, Warbelow is featured across several highlights that reflect her unique artistry. She brings expressive lyricism to the traditional Irish air Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow, theatrical power to Me and the Sky from Come From Away (with guest vocalists), and infectious dance energy to An Irish Party in 3rd Class. After intermission, she returns in full force with the driving rhythms of Mark O’Connor’s Olympic Reel and the electrifying showpiece The Devil Went Down to Georgia, where her virtuosic playing is sure to steal the show.

Warbelow’s presence transforms this program from a traditional pops concert into a vibrant musical journey; a journey that celebrates the many voices of American music, from folk roots to Broadway and beyond.

Join us on June 6th to experience Caitlin's remarkable artistry!
