Meg Bonta, Violinist
“With a delicate harmony of
creative & technical mastery,
Meg brings her thoughtful
musicianship and a prayerful
stillness to the stage with the
historic sounds of scordatura
on solo violin.”
These historic sounds have
resonated from her violin in
cathedrals and on stage
nationally & internationally.
In 2023, Meg premiered
her solo program at
Carnegie Hall in New York.
As a Catholic Violinist, it is a beautiful gift to share the Mysteries of the Rosary in sound.
Mystery surrounds these 15 sonatas and the accompanying Passacaglia, which were composed by Heinrich Franz Biber in the mid-1670s. The entire work is composed of the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries of the rosary, a meditative prayer that chronicles the life of Jesus Christ and honors his mother, Mary. Biber’s Mystery Sonatas follow this same practice. With each different tuning, he sets the audience in a different frame of mind. No longer are they just in the audience to listen, but instead they are there to experience each Mystery of the rosary in sound.
“Be Still.”
Mark 4:39
