Harumi Rhodes

Harumi Rhodes is the second violinist of the Takács Quartet and teaches at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Harumi combines her performing career with a passionate commitment to guiding young instrumentalists, chamber ensembles and composers. Her partnerships with composers of today have resulted in over 100 premieres. Born into a musical family with Japanese, American, Romanian, and Russian/Jewish roots, Harumi has always been interested in learning about other cultures. When at home, Harumi serves as Artistic Director of the Denver/Boulder branch of “If Music Be The Food…”, a concert series designed to build partnerships through music in order to raise awareness for food insecurity in local communities. Harumi strives to stay curious in all walks of life and has a ‘secret’ ambition to open a bookstore that would offer fresh daily soups, fun chat and music in the evenings.
