Rooted in Eastern-European and Klezmer string-band folk traditions, Rebecca Mac String Band performs original compositions which blend old world sounds with modern sensibilities. The Rebecca Mac Trio is joined by Akiva Jacobs on bass, and Giulia Haible on cello.

Rebecca Mac is Boston-based violinist and violist, regularly performing in various ensembles including Mamaliga, a contemporary quartet performing original Klezmer and Eastern-European folk inspired compositions and Zunroyz, a trio un-earthing string repertoire from the Jewish music archives. She has a degree in violin performance from Berklee College of Music and has performed nationally and internationally at renowned music festivals including KlezKanada, Yiddish Summer Weimar and Yiddish New York.

Mac is a 2022-24 grant recipient of the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s Traditional Arts Apprenticeship program, through which she is exploring the connections between Greek, Turkish and Jewish music with Beth Bahia Cohen. In addition to performing regularly in the Jewish music scene, she runs a regular, and inclusive Klezmer jam in downtown Boston.
