Biography

Samira Riachy is a Lebanese violin player. At the age of 9, she started her violin studies with Professor “Naji Azar” at a private music school in Lebanon and then embarked upon an intensive period of studies to learn new oriental techniques with the number one violin player in the middle east “Jihad Akl”.
