Introduction
About Worth Lewallen
Worth Lewallen is a classically trained violinist whose journey bridges conservatory precision and folk-born fire. Based in South Carolina and touring nationwide, Worth blends a mastery of traditional classical technique with deep roots in bluegrass, jazz, and Celtic music.
With foundation in classical music and early training under his father’s bluegrass band, Worth earned degrees in music education, violin performance, Masters degrees in Violin pedagogy, and Education Administration—developing into a dynamic performer and respected teacher. His discovery of Irish and Scottish traditional music while studying archeology and cultural heritage in Ireland ignited a lifelong passion that now defines his musical voice.
Touring Violinist & Passionate Music Educator
Worth tours nationally with the Celtic rock band Syr, a nationally recognized group with over 65,000 monthly supporters on Spotify and multiple singles surpassing over a million and a half streams. From Alaska to Florida, Worth headlines Celtic festivals, concert halls, and main stages, bringing fire, finesse, and authenticity to every show.
As an educator, Worth is equally at home in the classroom. He teaches Music courses at the University of South Carolina while completing his Doctor of Musical Arts in Violin Performance. His earlier leadership as a Fine Arts Department Chair for his school in the public school district reflects his commitment to music education at all levels.
