Amelia Korbitz is an American violinist with a passion for new music and collaboration through chamber music. She is the executive director and founder of the Antigone Music Collective, an organization committed to performing music by historically underrepresented composers, advancing the role of women in classical music, and making modern music accessible to modern audiences.
Through her work with the Antigone Music Collective, Amelia has curated free public concerts primarily across the Midwest region of the United States, where a large portion of her programming is focused on nature, current events, and identity in the 21st century.
