Raven Burckhalter is an accomplished actress and violinist in the Philadelphia area. She recently graduated from West Chester University, where she was also the founder and former president of Change of Scene, a BIPOC advocacy group.  Currently, she is a Community and Engagement Fellow at the Walnut St. Theatre in Center City.

Raven dazzled the crowd at SFDS alumni Judge Jimmy's 26th annual Irish Breakfast, with renditions of Fields of Athenry and Danny Boy on the violin. The event included a full Irish breakfast, live music, dancing, and art. You can watch a video of Raven's performance on our Facebook page. We are so grateful to alumni like Judge Jimmy and Raven who give back to De Sales such meaningful ways!
