Big Apple Band

Rachel Handman (violin) leads the Big Apple Band — a joyful ensemble of Broadway musicians who bring music from around the world to life. This lively violin-guitar-bass-drums combo blends Irish jigs with Venezuelan joropos, Brazilian samba with Persian folk, and more. For the holidays, they infuse their globe-spanning sound with festive warmth and winter cheer, inviting audiences to celebrate the season through rhythm, tradition, and musical joy. Featuring Matt Aronoff (bass), HIdayat Honari (guitar), and Mike Ramsey (percussion).
