Longy's Edward M. Pickman Hall

At just 17, American violinist Amaryn Olmeda is already carving out an extraordinary career—balancing her studies at New England Conservatory with a rapidly rising profile on the international stage. With dazzling agility, heartfelt lyricism, and a magnetic stage presence, Olmeda is already making her mark as one of classical music’s most exciting emerging talents.

At age 12, Olmeda won first prize and the audience choice award at the 24th Sphinx Competition. Since then, she has played to adoring audiences and rapturous reviews as a recitalist and an orchestral soloist across the country, including with the Philadelphia Orchestra and at Carnegie and David Geffen halls.

A rising star with boundless potential, Amaryn Olmeda is a must-hear young artist—and one Boston audiences will be cheering for decades to come. 

“Olmeda is clearly on her way to a stellar career. Combining a charismatic stage presence and audience appeal with pinpoint intonation, intense lyricism, and fluid technique ...she is here to stay.”
