Rachel Handman & Keve Wilson: The Catskill Sessions
September 14, 2025
Returning to 54 Below for an 8th time by popular demand! When Rachel Handman (violin-Maybe Happy Ending) and Keve Wilson (oboe- Company) first met at The Rink in Hyde Park, NY, they were 12 years old, fearless, and full of ambition. Skipping music theory to practice Irish jigs and showtunes instead, this violin and oboe duo pushes the boundaries of musical genre — fusing classical virtuosity with the spontaneity of a bluegrass band, the electricity of a rock concert, and the familiarity of the American Songbook.
“Broadway is very lucky to have these two magnificent players in their midst-both are virtuoso players. Rachel and Keve got a very well-deserved standing ovation. The next time I’m at a Broadway show, I will not take the orchestra for granted.”- BroadwayWorld
Individually, they have recorded and/or performed with Bruce Springsteen, Ray Charles, Mary J. Blige, Natalie Merchant, Harry Connick, Jr and more, and have played in over 20 Broadway orchestras. They are joined by the hottest rhythm section in NYC… Hidayat Honari– guitar (The Last Five Years), Matthew Aronoff– bass (Cabaret), and Mike Ramsey– drums (Disney’s The Lion King).
