Hi! I'm Chelsea- the owner and coordinator for Ember Strings, LLC. I am a classically trained violist who is passionate about performing chamber music. I love that it doesn't require a formal performance setting, yet it creates an environment of intimacy between the performers and the audience that sets itself apart from other live music experiences.
In 2020, I received a Master of Music degree in Viola Performance from Pittsburg State University (KS). As a Graduate Teaching Assistant, I served as Principal Violist in the Southeast Kansas Symphony Orchestra and as Coordinator for the university string quartet. I have had the privilege of performing regularly with several established ensembles in Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas, including the Southern Symphony Orchestra (2010-20), Heartland Opera Theater (2013-20), and the Arkansas Philharmonic Orchestra (2017-20).
In 2020, I moved to the Florida Gulf Coast and began playing in the Richey Community Orchestra (20-21) as Principal Violist. Once auditions resumed, I joined the viola section of the Tampa Bay Symphony in 2021. In addition to performing, I also teach violin and viola students of varying ages and experience at a music studio in Dunedin, FL.
With Ember Strings, LLC, my goal is to provide clients with kind professionalism and exceptional live musical experiences.
We perform Classical music with a mixture of Pops arrangements.
