Praised for her “technical mastery, rich tone, and fluid character,” Amelia Korbitz is an American violinist with a passion for new music and collaboration through chamber music. She specializes in performing music by historically underrepresented composers, advancing the role of women in classical music, and making contemporary music accessible to audiences in the modern day. 

As founder and executive director of the Antigone Music Collective, her work has spanned from recital engagements at institutions such as the University of Chicago to a residency at the Vid Djupid Music Festival in Isafjordur, Iceland. In 2026, the AMC presented the world premiere of Nyctivoe, a chamber music cycle by Gregory Rowland Evans with text by author Dimitris Lyacos. Amelia has curated public concerts primarily across the Midwest region of the United States, where a large portion of her programming is focused on nature, activism, and artistic identity. She draws inspiration from many living composers, and has been a part of commission projects for artists such as Brian Raphael Nabors, Emma Tucker, Caleb Abner, and Aaron Zimmer.

Amelia has appeared as a soloist across the United States with performance highlights including Haydn’s Sinfonia Concertante with the Skagit Symphony in 2026 and the Beethoven Violin Concerto with the Southern Illinois Music Festival Orchestra in 2025. She previously performed Vivali’s Winter with the Southern Illinois Music Festival Orchestra, Primavera with the West Suburban Symphony, and Piazzolla’s Los Cuatros Estaciones Porteñas with the CCM Philharmonia Orchestra. As an avid collaborator and advocate for new music, Amelia has premiered five works for solo violin written and dedicated to her.

As an orchestral musician, Amelia has spent eight consecutive summers at the Southern Illinois Music Festival, and as an associate concertmaster since 2022. She has also been a member of the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra, Queen City Opera Orchestra, and concertmaster of Musica Le Mans.

Amelia earned her Master of Music degree at the Cleveland Institute of Music with Dr. Olga Dubossarskaya Kaler and her Bachelor of Music degree at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music under the tutelage of Dr. Won-Bin Yim. She has also earned a Spanish language minor from the University of Cincinnati and is a certified violin instructor by the Suzuki Association of the Americas.
