Her love of chamber music began as part of a family of dynamic musicians at The Chamber Music Connection (CMC). Growing up in an arts administrative family helped to instill and nurture her passion in the art, performance, and education of chamber music. She is proud to serve as CMC’s Assistant Artistic Director and Fellowship Program Director. Through CMC she has worked with some of the most respected and acclaimed chamber musicians of our time, including members of the Aizuri, Ames, Brentano, Calidore, Callisto, Cavani, Cleveland, Cypress, Dover, Emerson, Fry Street, Formosa, Guarneri, Hausmann, Jupiter, Pacifica, St. Lawrence, Verona, and Ying quartets. She is also proud to be a primary member of CMC’s associated faculty that has led many CMC ensembles to win or place in the world’s top junior division national chamber music competitions including the Coltman, Fischoff, Saint Paul String Quartet, Midwest Young Artists Conservatory, Pasadena Conservatory, and WDAV Young Chamber Musicians Competitions.

Stephanie’s passion for chamber music has resulted in diverse performing styles and collaborations with world-renowned artists and ensembles including the Cavani Quartet, Jeffrey Irvine, Peter Salaff, Michael Tree, Mikhal Kopleman, and Jamey Haddad. She has performed recitals in the United States and Europe, notably at the Kennedy Center, Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome, and on National Public Radio’s From the Top! Series.

She is a founding member of the KASA Quartet, winners of the 2017 Coltman National Chamber Music Competition. Stephanie has been a performing artist at the Caroga Lake Music Festival (CLMF) since its founding in 2012 and went on tour to Switzerland with CLMF and CMC in 2017. 

She received a Master of Music from the Eastman School of Music with a certificate in Arts Leadership and a Bachelor of Music from the Cleveland Institute of Music where she was the recipient of the Alumni Jim Hall Graduate Studies Scholarship. Stephanie is also a member and trainee of The Association for Body Mapping Education.

She currently resides in Westerville, Ohio where she enjoys spending time with her family, son Felix (yes…named after Mendelssohn), husband David, and their two rescue dogs Bridget and Goofy.
