About this event
Join us to hear Valentine Roland perform songs from Brittany, Cornwall and elsewhere. Valentine is also a talented player of the violin, guitar and tin whistle. She began her musical journey at age 14, performing a repertoire of traditional Celtic ballads at prominent events such as the Normandie Celtic Festival. Driven to expand her musical range, she took up the violin and was accepted into the Conservatoire de musique de Nîmes in France, where she earned her ABRSM Grade 8 with distinction in 2023. During this time, she joined the Celtic folk group JigFiz, performing at numerous concerts across the south of France. In 2023, Valentine moved to Malaysia, where she performed with the Penang Symphony Orchestra. Now based in Oxford, she teaches violin and Celtic fiddle while continuing to perform at various venues in Oxfordshire and France.
