Currently in her second year at ANAM studying with Caroline Henbest, Angelina is known to bring energy and passion to the stage. Her dedication to storytelling through music has opened doors for both national and international performances and collaborations. While studying for her Bachelor’s degree at Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University under the guidance of Michele Walsh, Angelina was awarded the FW and EG Harmer Memorial Scholarship. She received the John Curro Viola Prize in 2022, Ross Peters 4MBS Chamber Music Prize in 2022 and the Basil Jones Sonata Prize in 2023. She also had the pleasure of performing one of her favourite viola concertos – the Bartók Viola Concerto with the Queensland Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra.
Her passion for chamber music grew as a member of the Tarilindy String Quartet. With the quartet she had the opportunity to perform at the Musical Chairs Chamber Festival in Montreal, Brisbane Music Festival, Bendigo Chamber Festival, she collaborated with the Australian String Quartet and received the Milan Kantor Prize at the Great Romantics Competition in 2024. A highlight for Angelina was being Ensemble Q’s Featured Young Artist in 2023, where she worked with some of Australia’s leading musicians. She is excited to be part of the Wilma and Friends Chamber Music Series this November.
In 2023, she had the privilege of touring with the Queensland Youth Orchestra (AYO), performing in Singapore, Austria, and Germany. Angelina has cherished every AYO program, creating music with fellow musicians and drawing inspiration from renowned conductors. She is looking forward to being part of the 2025 AYO international tour to the Netherlands, Germany and Austria.
In her spare time, she loves going out for runs, coffee and watching true crime documentaries.
