Canadian modern and Baroque violinist Suhashini Arulanandam joined the Tango ensemble Solidaridad in the fall of 2020, after participating in a Tango violin masterclass taught by Guillermo Rubino. Since then, she has been deepening her understanding of the genre by connecting with the international group of musicians who comprise Solidaridad. Suhashini is a longtime member of the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra and the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, as well as co-founder of the Tadioli Duo with cellist Sybil Shanahan. A versatile and adaptable musician, Suhashini has performed with a wide spectrum of artists and ensembles including Tapestry Opera, Soundstreams, the Thin Edge New Music Collective, singer-songwriters Sarah Slean and Leif Vollebekk, Digging Roots, tabla virtuoso Samir Chatterjee and Sufi rock guitarist Salman Ahmad, Adam Rudolph’s Go: Organic orchestra, and The Aradia Ensemble on Baroque violin. Suhashini can be heard on CBC Music, most recently on Saturday Afternoon at the Opera, in Tapestry Opera’s recording of “Rocking Horse Winner”.
