Annabella Paolucci

Originally from West Palm Beach, Florida, Annabella Paolucci is a violinist, songwriter, and music technologist who studied violin performance and music technology at the University of Michigan. Early in her career, she was accepted into the prestigious 2020 NYO-USA program and was awarded the 2020 Sue Cunningham Memorial Scholarship. Annabella also earned first place in both the 2021 Lisa Bruna B-major Competition and the 2021 Festival of the Arts Boca Concerto Competition.

As a member of the Ann Arbor indie rock band Cedar Bend, she merges her classical background with contemporary sound to explore new forms of musical storytelling. A finalist in the 2023 Songs for Democracy songwriting competition, Annabella is committed to using music as a voice for social impact.

Through her collaboration with Healing Bells and Ni une más, she contributes to a shared mission of raising awareness and fostering healing through artistic collaboration and community-driven performance.

“Art is one of the most powerful ways to connect communities and promote change. It means the world to me to be able to work on the production of Ni une más, surrounded by such kind, empowering, and passionate people, all working to raise awareness and promote healing through the arts.”
