PTBOCanada is delighted to be running StoosNews columns each week here, spotlighting new businesses and startups in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Here is this week’s edition…

Victoria Yeh is a fusion violinist who recently moved to Peterborough.

She is setting up her new studio at 159 King St. in Downtown Peterborough where she will be taking on advanced students and expanding her performance and recording portfolio.

In addition to a bustling career as a solo artist and member of several bands, Yeh is also a teacher, composer, arranger and recording artist. Her and her family were attracted to Peterborough by the vibrant arts scene, and she is looking forward to diving in and making connections.
