Ellinor was born to Cuban parents in Jamaica and started to learn the violin at the age of two. Today, she is only twenty-four, but ‘in spite of her age, is one of those rare players who gives the impression that her command – both technical and musical – is total’ (Michael Dervan, The Irish Times). Classic FM’s ‘Rising Star of 2023’ and prize winner of major competitions including the Henryk Wieniawski (1st Prize), ‘Debut Berlin’ (1st Prize) and Novosibirsk (1st Prize and special awards), Ellinor is forging a career as a violinist of the highest standing.
