Alyssa Warcup Professional Musician in Washington DC

Alyssa Warcup is a professional violist based in the Washington, D.C. area, splitting her time between orchestral stages, chamber music concerts, and intimate private events. She performs regularly with the National Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and Candlelight Concerts. In 2025, she was the featured artist in an episode of PBS WHYY's On Stage at Curtis.

Alyssa made her solo debut performing the Schnittke Viola Concerto with the Cleveland Institute of Music Orchestra, and has since picked up first-prize wins at competitions across the country.
