A passionate interpreter of new music, violist Julie Michael has collaborated with many composers to commission and premiere new solo viola and chamber works. Julie has performed throughout Europe and North America as former violist of Quatuor Tana and Amaranth Quartet, and through guest appearances with ensembles including Ictus, Alarm Will Sound and Ensemble Intercontemporain. Career highlights include performances at the Venice Biennale, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, ManiFeste – IRCAM (France), Aldeburgh Festival (UK), and the Banff Centre (Canada). An engaging performer for young audiences, Julie regularly gives concerts and workshops at schools and children's festivals.

Born in Detroit and currently based in Brussels, Julie holds degrees from McGill University (Canada) and the University of Michigan (US) and is pursuing doctoral studies at KU Leuven (Belgium), focusing on the creative practice of contemporary performer-composers. As a composer, Julie's works take a highly personal approach to string playing, marked by playful rhythmic gestures and an engagement with text and found objects.

As a teaching artist, Julie has given masterclasses for string players and composers in the US, France, Austria, Belgium, and Spain, and spent a term as visiting professor of viola at the University of Panama. Following training in Suzuki and Dalcroze methods, Julie has taught strings at youth programs including Harmony Project Bay Area (US) and Share the Warmth Montreal (Canada).
