Born into a musical household, Victoria Parker grew up performing and touring with her family quintet. Through this experience, she developed a deep connection to chamber music which remains an important part of her musical life.

She has been a featured soloist with many orchestras, including One World Symphony, Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra, Vermont Mozart Festival Orchestra, North Corner Chamber Orchestra, and Northwest Sinfonia, with which she recorded a violin concerto composed for her by Roupen Shakarian.

She is a founding member of North Corner Chamber Orchestra and was a primary leader and Artistic Coordinator from 2014 to 2022. She performs with the Seattle Symphony and Seattle Opera and can be heard on numerous popular albums and soundtracks, many of which feature her arrangements and improvisations.

Victoria has extensive experience as a music educator, coach, and clinician and has served on the faculty of many music festivals (including CYSO Summer Sounds, Cornish College of the Arts summer string camp, and MBYS Sounds of Summer) and taught numerous workshops throughout the country. She maintains a violin studio in Seattle.

Victoria is also a visual artist and poet. Her passion for interdisciplinary arts is embodied in her projects and collaborations.

Parker holds degrees from Western Michigan University and Manhattan School of Music. She lives in Seattle with her family.
