Praised by the LA Times as a “versatile violinist,” Rachel Iba is a Los Angeles-based musician, conductor, composer and performance artist who works within a broad range of musical traditions spanning the classical, contemporary, jazz, folk and cross-cultural repertoire. From performing and lecturing at Walt Disney Concert Hall, to showcasing her distinct blend of stand up comedy and performance art in clubs across the city—it’s safe to say that Iba’s unique artistic voice transcends traditional boundaries.  Rachel is passionate about using art as a way to examine larger systemic imbalances. In her original work, she integrates music, standup comedy and clownwork to explore intersectional feminism, environmentalism, classism, and performance psychology. She has performed at the Kennedy Center, REDCAT, the Troubadour, Walt Disney Concert Hall, ArtShare LA, the Lyric Hyperion, and numerous other venues within the US and abroad.
