Violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins, winner of the Honorarium Prize in the 2003 Naumburg International Violin Competition and a career grant from the Concert Artists Guild, is the inaugural artist-in-residence for Classical Roots, an outreach program of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

During her residency this week, the violinist will visit City Gospel Mission, where she and CSO musicians will perform Stravinsky’s “The Soldier’s Tale” for clients. The performance is inspired by her not-for-profit Music Kitchen, which takes live classical music to homeless shelters in New York City.

She’ll also be visiting Cincinnati schools, including SCPA, and she’ll work with members of the CSO/CCM Diversity Fellows, a special program for African-American and Latino musicians that aims to create more diversity in American orchestras.

Hall-Tompkins’ residency will culminate in a recital with CSO musicians at 7 p.m. April 5, First Unitarian Church, 536 Linton Street in Avondale. The program will include Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Clarinet Quintet, Stravinsky’s “The Soldier’s Tale” and music from her latest album, “The Fiddler: Expanding Tradition.”

Her new album follows her 13-month, Tony and Grammy-nominated run on Broadway performing as the Fiddler in “Fiddler on the Roof.” She is featured in an upcoming documentary about “Fiddler on the Roof” to be released this spring.

Recital Tickets: $10. Call 513-381-3300, or visit cincinnatisymphony.org/artist-in-residence.

Classical Roots’ annual concert takes place on April 20 in Music Hall, and will feature the CSO conducted by John Morris Russell with the 150-mmber Classical Roots Community Mass Choir.
