Harikoa Bronsdaughter-George (Kāi Tahu, Ngāti Porou) is a New Zealand born violinist from a family of musicians who play many different instruments in a diverse range of genres with a high Suzuki method focus. Her Suzuki violin education began at age 4, which culminated in a Bachelor of Music with 2nd Class Honours in Violin Performance from the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Harikoa has since sung in a jazz duo, performed indigenous dance and singing in Te Kotahitanga kapa haka group, played violin and/or viola in the Christchurch Youth Orchestra, Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and Vancouver Philharmonic and is currently hiding in the viola section of Orchestra Toronto.

In Harikoa's spare time she likes to sing, play whatever instrument is nearest to her, and try her hand at the odd boardgame or video game.

We acknowledge that the land on which we live and work is the ancestral lands of various Indigenous Peoples and that we live on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Chippewa and Wendat, in the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee to peaceably share and care for the territory around the Great Lakes, all newcomers are invited into this Covenant. This territory is also covered by the Upper Canada Treaties. Today, the meeting place of Toronto (Haudenosaunee 'Tkaronto') is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and live in this territory.
