I am a solo violinist and over the past 22 years I have crafted a set comprised of melodies from around the world, ranging from Western classical, to Appalachian old-time, to traditional European and Middle Eastern music and more. I perform for weddings ceremonies, galas, art openings, and other types of private and public events.
I had a Tarot reading with Aya, and it was a beautiful experience! I learned so much about myself, my life, and the philosophy of Tarot. Highly recommended!
Response from Aya Safiya:
Thank you, Tano!

My performance is like traveling across the earth with one violin. I perform tunes from the Balkans, to the Middle East, to old-time America, and classical Europe, with both cultural and individual authenticity. The overall sound is acoustic, earthy, colourful, and delicate.
When you enter a Tarot reading with me you enter your own world. It's all about you, your curiosity, your potential, your space. I am merely a mediator between you and the Tarot. In my readings, you will have your questions and concerns answered, learn a little bit about the philosophy of Tarot, and most importantly you will leave inspired. I read with honesty and depth, but also with a lightness that keeps you uplifted.
Authentic, tasteful, and experienced, Aya Safiya is an accomplished violinist who has performed at renowned venues such as the Great American Music Hall and the Freight & Salvage Coffee House, as well as festivals in the US and in Europe. Aya began studying Suzuki violin at the age of 7, where there was a heavy emphasis on ear training and performance. Simultaneously she studied Near and Middle Eastern classical violin, and folk violin of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Americas, with master violinists including Angel Shopov and Nicos Chatzopoulos. At age 15 she started teaching private lessons and group workshops, and started performing professionally. Over the years Aya has carefully crafted a multi-cultural solo set that best represents her as a violinist.
As a Tarot consultant, Aya reads with both the Jodorowsky version of the Tarot de Marseille deck, and the Smith-Waite Centennial deck. After studying under Blue June and Brian Oaster of Catland in New York City, she has designed her own method of reading.
