She holds her audiences spellbound with her flawless technique, her amazing energy and her expressive and dynamic versatility.

Since making her debut at the age of 9 with the Auckland Philharmonia, Amalia has been the winner of numerous prestigious competitions both in New Zealand and across the world. She is in great demand as a soloist in New Zealand as well as internationally and has recently returned from performing in South America. Amalia is currently a member of the NZ string trio, which has been described as “New Zealand’s most indispensable ensemble”. In 2016, she was appointed as concertmaster of Orchestra Wellington, becoming New Zealand’s youngest ever concertmaster.
