A Connecticut born violinist, Shreya Sachdev began her studies at the Hartt School of Music, and now holds degrees from both the Oberlin Conservatory and the Cleveland Institute of Music, under the guidance of teachers David Bowlin and Stephen Rose.

She currently enjoys an active orchestral, chamber, and freelance career all over Ohio, where she regularly performs with the BlueWater Chamber Orchestra, Canton Symphony, and is now joining CityMusic Cleveland Orchestra starting 2023. She’s also more recently played with the Erie Philharmonic, Buffalo Philharmonic, ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, Symphoria, Akron Symphony, Firelands Symphony, Cleveland Opera Theatre Orchestra, and formerly the Suburban Symphony Orchestra, where she served as Principal Second Violin during their 2016-2017 season.

Prior to making a home in Cleveland, she’s had the pleasure of sharing the stage with conductors and soloists Robert Spano, Vasily Petrenko, Yefim Bronfman, Garrick Ohlsson, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Jane Glover, Lawrence Power, Conrad Tao, and Leonard Slatkin, amongst others as a fellowship student at the Aspen Music Festival and School.

She also has a passion for social work; her work with the nonprofit organization Concerts for Hope has led to performances in several rehabilitation centers for drug and alcohol addiction, schools, homeless shelters, and prisons throughout the country, including Sing Sing Correctional Facility in September 2023.
