At Mannes she studied Baroque violin with Nancy Wilson, viola da gamba

extensively on the East coast and performed with and coached ensembles
throughout the Southwest. Amy is a founding member and director of the

area-based early music ensemble Galileo Project, which has performed as
a featured group at the 2002 Amherst Early Music Festival and on the
2004 Berkeley Early Music Festival fringe series. Since moving to the
Bay area in 2003 she has appeared
as a violist with ensembles such as the Sacramento Symphony, Sacramento
Choral Society, and North Bay Opera while serving as Co-Director of
Galileo Music Academy in San Ramon. Amy resides in the charming East Bay
town of Crockett.
