Michael Danchi – Violin Artist and Visionary: Having played since the age of four, Mike trained at the
world-renowned Eastman School of Music. While at Eastman he studied with
virtuoso violinist Charles Castleman, a brilliant musician and well-loved teacher. In his early years Michael was
privileged to learn the art of violin from Betty Gehring, Pam Kelly, Wilinda Atchley, Eric Pritchard, and other fine
musicians.
Michael believes that God gives talent to be used for His glory. Through his artistry, Mike seeks to reflect the
infinite, eternal beauty of Jesus Christ, promoting His message of love and salvation.
