Ashley Rewolinski is an acoustic and electric violinist based out of the greater Milwaukee and Chicago areas.  She performs regularly with national touring artists in arenas across the midwest with artists such as Josh Groban, Il Volo, and Michael Bublé.  Not afraid to step out of the classical genre and into the flames (literally!), she performs in the string section for Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and has also performed with Disturbed. Recent collaborations include performing the first song of 2025 with DJ Shawna at NYE MKE, performances at Beatles Fest Chicago, and coordinating & leading the string sections for iconic Milwaukee events in 2024: the Baird Center Grand Opening Gala, and the 2024 City of Milwaukee Tree Lighting.

Ashley has quickly become a highly sought after electric violinist, performing for weddings, corporate, and other private events. She proudly plays a custom made 5 string 3Dvarius and loves exploring new repertoire on this unique instrument. Her electric violin has led her to electrifying performances for notable clients including: 2024 Republican National Convention, United States Conference of Mayors, North American Food Manufacturing Summit, Lambeau Field, Brunello Cucinelli, National Association for Catering & Events, Kohler 150, local Miss America Competitions, NYE MKE, among others. During the RNC, she was interviewed by Wisconsin Public Radio on creating live music experiences for the convention; a feature that was later selected as one of the top stories of 2024.

​

Known for her high energy electric violin performances with DJ, she has performed with DJs from Sound by Design, Milwaukee Airwaves, David Charles Productions & DJ Matt Roan. Collaborating with DJs is one of her favorite types of performance, and she loves bringing live music to the dance floor! She is frequently booked to perform with DJ for corporate events & wedding receptions, and can be booked as a solo electric violinist, or with multiple musicians in a DJ Hybrid Ensemble.

Passionate about arts administration, she serves on the Board of Directors for the Association of Wisconsin Symphony Orchestras. Notable administrative accomplishments include a Tanglewood Fellowship, hosting the 2023 AWSO Workshop and serving as the Lake Geneva Symphony Orchestra’s Executive Director – the first in the orchestra’s history. In October  2022, she was honored for her work as a violinist and arts administrator by Kettle Moraine High School (her alma mater) as a Trailblazer Hall of Fame Inductee.
