About

Victoria began her musical studies at age seven in Australia and moved to the United States at fourteen. A passionate orchestral musician, she has performed at renowned venues including Carnegie Hall, the Apollo Theater, and the DiMenna Center with ensembles such as the American Composers Orchestra, The Little Orchestra Society, and the New York Pops. During her time at New York University, she served as principal cellist for the NYU Orchestra and other university ensembles.

In 2024, Victoria was selected as a fellow at the Eastern Music Festival, where she performed weekly in the faculty orchestra and participated in outreach concerts with other fellows. Victoria plays many different genres and is an active touring musician with the Emo Orchestra. She is also an avid chamber musician and a founding member of the Kompass Quartet, who were the 2023 Young Artists in Residence with the Craftsbury Chamber Players. As part of the residency, the quartet performed alongside principal players from the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, New Jersey Symphony, and the Radio City Music Hall Orchestra.

Additional booking notes

I have a small speaker that I can bring for events for backing tracks, but for larger spaces, I would require speakers or amps to connect to.
