Frederick Elias, the virtuoso violinist of the Mosaic Ensemble, is of Lebanese heritage. Trained at the Boston Conservatory of Music, he has the unique gift of being able to combine his knowledge of Western classical and popular music with his love for Arabic, Greek and Armenian music and produce a blend that has been mesmerizing audiences for decades!  

He has had the opportunity to work with well-known Arabic music personalities like  Anton Abdelehad, Phil Solomon, Emile Kassis, Joe Budway, and Eddie Kochak, as-well-as famous Greek names like Manolis Hiotis, Mary Linda, Bebis, Dalia, Nikos Gounaris, Harry Lemonopoulos, and John Tatassopoulos.  "Freddie", as he is known to his many friends around the world, has had many stellar appearances including at the Lincoln Center in New York and the Chicago Opera House.  

He has enjoyed a two-year stint in Las Vegas, and has performed for royalty, like King Saud and Prince Khalid of Saudi Arabia. He has pleased audiences with his performances at most, if not all, Greek and Middle Eastern nightspots in the Boston and surrounding areas, for almost six decades.
