Chicago native Ifetayo Ali-Landing began studying music as soon as she could walk. Her mother Lucinda may have helped in that department - she is a professional violinist who also happens to be a member of Chicago Sinfonietta's orchestra). Ali-Landing has been featured with such orchestras as the Wilmington (NC) Symphony, New World Symphony, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony, South Bend Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic, Elgin Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Sinfonietta, Southwest Michigan Symphony,  and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Ravinia.
