Miki Cloud is a musician and educator passionate about music’s ability to cultivate connection and spark change. 

Since 2009, Miki has been a core member of the self-conducted chamber orchestra, A Far Cry, where she serves as one of its violinists, artistic directors, and since 2021, head of Community Partnerships and Learning.  Acclaimed for her thoughtful and
innovative approach to the listening experience, her artistic direction has been described as “ingeniously crafted” by the Boston Globe and “intoxicating” by the New York Times. Miki is a former member of the New York-based Solera Quartet, winners of the 2017 Pro Musicis International Award and 2018 Guarneri Quartet Residency from Chamber Music America.  She is also a former artistic director of the North Country Chamber Players.
An alumnus of Harvard College, Yale School of Music, New England Conservatory, and the Perlman Music Program, Miki has been privileged to work with brilliant young people at Project STEP, Greenwood Music Camp, New England Conservatory Preparatory Division, Harvard, and Dartmouth Colleges.

Beyond the concert hall, music has long been Miki’s invitation to gently enter the sacred spaces of her neighbors: five year olds in a Boston forest school, incarcerated men at Corrigan Radgowski Correctional Center, New Yorkers hospitalized with COVID in 2020,
expectant parents of color with Neighborhood Birthing Center, infants at Boston Children’s Hospital, and mothers affected by gun violence.  These moments of
connection at bedsides, in cafetoriums, barber shops, and under the trees have been at the core of her work as an artist, and continue to stretch and feed her as a human being.
