Based in Chicago, violinist and violist Amelia Sie is a virtuosic and adventurous performer on both Baroque and modern instruments. As a historical performer, she has appeared on stage with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Les Arts Florissants, and Carmel Bach Festival, among others. Equally comfortable on the modern violin, Amelia made her first public appearance with the Seattle Festival Orchestra at the young age of 8 and has since performed as a soloist with orchestras including the Seattle Symphony and the Coeur D’Alene Symphony.

Along with Alyssa Campbell, Jimmy Drancsak, and Chelsea Bernstein, Amelia is a founding member of the Arrow Quartet, a historically informed ensemble that explores and performs music across genres with the goals of expanding the historical performance music canon and creating a more inclusive concert experience. Engagements include performances for the MidSummer Music Series in Nova Scotia, GEMS Midtown Concerts, Roger Williams University, and The Cambridge Society for Early Music.

Amelia is sought-after for her exuberant, fiery performances and diverse programming. Previous engagements include solo recitals with Gotham Early Music Scene, Early Music America, and The Bohemians: Musician’s Club of New York, as well as solo performances with the Albany Symphony and Juilliard415. This 2025-26 season, Amelia looks forward to performances with Ars Musica Chicago, Bach in the City, Handel and Haydn Society, and Smithsonian Academy Orchestra.

Amelia received her BM and MM in Violin Performance from New England Conservatory, where she studied with Paul Biss, Miriam Fried, and Soovin Kim. She graduated from the Juilliard School in 2023 with a MM in Historical Performance, where she studied with Cynthia Roberts, Elizabeth Blumenstock, and Rachel Podger. Amelia is honored to have been named a Mercury Chamber Orchestra Mercury-Juilliard Fellow for the 2023-24 concert year, as well as a Handel+Haydn Society Stone Fellow for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 concert years.
