Leah Amory
Violin
Leah Amory is a violinist and musician who strives for a future honoring classical music with urgency. Originally from New York City, she studies violin with Erin Keefe at the Curtis Institute of Music, where she holds a fellowship from an anonymous donor.
Her passion for playing is enriched by her passion for visual art, crossword puzzles, and sonnets; she aims to share her truest voice within the conflux of these creative genres, relating a unique interpretation of self and music to her audiences.
Leah is grateful to those who have supported her lifelong search. Such mentors include Catherine Cho, Pamela Frank, Erin Keefe, Itzhak Perlman, and David Takeno. Along the journey, she has won prizes at the YoungArts Foundation, the International Virtuoso Competition, and the NY Chamber Players Competition, and she spends her summers sketching at the Ravinia Steans Music Institute, the Four Seasons Chamber Music Festival, and the Perlman Music Program.
