Ingrid is a violinist, improviser and composer whose music moves between jazz, folk tradition, and quiet, spacious sound worlds.
Born in Tallinn, Estonia, she began playing violin at the age of six—but her musical path did not become clear until years later, when a Charles Lloyd concert opened a doorway into improvisation. From that moment, music shifted from something to perform into something to breathe inside.
After studies at the Estonian Academy of Music, Ingrid moved to Denmark to continue her education at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory. There she found a musical home rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and the freedom to explore sound without borders. She has performed throughout Europe with the European Jazz Youth Orchestra and with Sisters in Jazz, and continues to collaborate widely across genres and traditions.
Drawing deeply from Estonian nature, folk melody, and moments of quiet reflection, her music is less about style and more about presence.
The violin becomes a voice for stillness and movement, for breath, for emotion that cannot be said in words. Sometimes spacious and atmospheric, sometimes playful and rhythmic, her sound always begins from listening.
For Ingrid, music is not a ladder to climb—it is a circle.
A place to stay inside, to return to, to explore slowly and patiently.
Her work invites the listener not only to hear, but to feel.
She continues to create, record, and perform across Europe, while developing new ways of sharing improvisation as a gentle, personal practice—one note at a time, one breath at a time.
