Rachel Mossburg

Always seeking a good adventure, Rachel Mossburg continually explores ways to nourish her musical wanderlust. She graduated from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in 2020 with a music performance degree, and moved to Chicago shortly after to pursue her career as a professional musician. Rachel is an engaging performer, enjoys pushing musical boundaries by playing genres of all types, and has been captivating audiences with her exceptional string playing for over two decades.

 

Having performed with many of the midwest’s finest symphonic orchestras, various bands and eclectic groups, Rachel is well-versed in knowing how to dazzle a crowd. Some of her highlight performance experiences in recent years include: sharing the stage with Michael Bublé for five shows, performing with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, playing in the 18-piece orchestra for the Netflix series Our Planet: Live in Concert production tour for ten weeks, and performing with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago in Symphony Center. In addition, she is an active member of the Chicago-based group, Mucca Pazza, where she has been the lead electric violinist for three years. 

 

Rachel also has a passion for entrepreneurial endeavors, and has worked toward her dream of starting an all female string ensemble, which has evolved beautifully into that of Solaria Strings. Having grown up in a family of string musicians who often performed together from a young age, Rachel has played in over 400 weddings. Her wide range of experience and expertise in this industry is what inspired her to create Solaria Strings.

 

As the founder and coordinator, Rachel enjoys all aspects of assembling musical elements for an event — from communicating with clients, organizing every little detail, to most importantly, the day of — when everything comes together for her clients' special occasions, transforming their visions into reality.

 

Having the opportunity to make beautiful music with exceptional female musicians she values and loves working with is the ultimate reward. Rachel strives to provide her clients with this same unforgettable musical experience, fostering a positive and lasting impression for any occasion.
