BIO:

Annie grew up on the east coast in New York and Philadelphia. She began her music studies at age 6 on the piano, followed by the cello at age 13.

Annie received her Masters degree in music, cello performance on a full fellowship from Ohio University. She studied with teachers Debbie Reeder of the Philadelphia Trio, Mark Schroeder at Ohio University, Alan Harris at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and numerous orchestral and chamber music coaches. She served as Associate Principal Cellist of the Huntington Chamber Orchestra and ran a cello instruction studio in the Bay Area for over 10 years. Influenced by the renowned Jazz cellist David Baker, Annie released an album of jazz standards, titled "Something New.”

After launching UC Berkeley’s first crowdfunding platform and campus-wide student innovation incubator program, “Big Ideas @ Berkeley,” Annie returned to her true passion - music - and continues to invite audiences with her warmth of sound and versatility as a soloist and chamber musician.

Annie’s favorite form of music making is chamber music, and founded the Intarsia Trio and Duo Viello. Most recently she has launched a new chamber music series: Sequences, and has an ongoing recording project, “The Bach Quadrupletet” on her YouTube channel.

Annie also holds degrees from the University of Pennsylvania (B.A., Asian Studies and Pre-Medicine)  and UC Berkeley (Masters, School of Information). When not practicing, preparing for a concert or working at the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society at UC Berkeley, Annie practices yoga, hikes, knits, and takes care of her two cats, Pepper and Wilson.
