Violinist Jolianne Einem enjoys her travels from her home in Trinidad California, leaving her garden and home projects behind, to cultivate her relationship with the HIP (Historically Informed Performance) world of music. She studied violin with Alex Treger at UCLA, Alice Schoenfeld at USC, and with English baroque violinist Monica Huggett, who inspired her passion for early music. She toured internationally with Monica Huggett’s Trio Sonnerie, and Hausmusik, as well as Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, under Ton Koopman; her musical travels have taken her through Europe, South America, India, Asia, and Canada. Einem is a featured member of San Francisco’s acclaimed Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Portland Baroque Orchestra, in Oregon, and the Festival Orchestra of the Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar. She also performs with groups such as Live Oak Baroque Orchestra in Sonoma, and Cantata Collective in the Bay Area, and collaborates with her partner, multi-instrumentalist Rob Diggins, in Les Conversations Galantes or The Flying Oms, where together they explore a wide-ranging repertoire across multiple genres, including originals. Jolianne performs locally in Northern California with LodeStar, on electric bass/vocals, and with songwriter Joanne Rand, on mandolin/vocals, and is director of Westhaven Center for the Arts, producing Trinidad Art Nights.

Jolianne is featured on Portland Baroque Orchestra’s recording of J.S. Bach: Concertos for One, Two and Three Violins, and her many other recordings include: Mendelssohn Octet with Hausmusik (EMI), Early Music of the Netherlands with Trio Sonnerie (Emergo), Venice Before Vivaldi with El Mundo (Koch), Eighteenth Century Music for Lute and Strings with Trio Galanterie (Audioquest), 18th Century Concerti with Archetti (Centaur Records), and Flower Fairies (Music for Little People).
