Welcome back Natalie Padilla to the Winter Village Music 2026 faculty! Natalie brings a rich background in Old-Time, Irish, Bluegrass, Classical, and Texas-style fiddling. Now based in Western Massachusetts, Natalie is known for her lush, melodic playing and original compositions that feel both timeless and deeply personal.

Her latest album Eostre (2025), produced by Quinn Bachand, former faculty, showcases her ability to create vivid acoustic landscapes. Natalie performs with the Vermont-based trio Low Lily and has a history of classical performance with symphonies and opera companies across the country.
