Introduction
Hello!
My name is Aimée, and I am a violist! I grew up in Southern California and started playing Viola when I was eight years old. I love jamming with friends and have plentiful experience playing with orchestras, chamber ensembles, contemporary ensembles, as well as solo. I was a member of the Ivalas Quartet from 2019-2023 and am looking now to expand my horizons! I have played in several beautiful places including but not limited to, New York (Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center), Aspen Colorado, Los Angeles, Ann Arbor, and abroad; Argentina, Northern Italy, Austria, Germany, and China. I love traveling and playing for people wherever I go and I hope to instill this same passion in all of my students. I am currently recruiting students to go to a six week chamber music festival in Northern Italy, where they will have a chance to get some professional opera gig, chamber music, and solo recital experience.
