She began her career as a session cellist, touring internationally with rock and experimental groups, and released 3 albums of cello and vocal-oriented songs under the name Garland of Hours, before turning her focus to historical performance. She holds a master’s degree in Historical Performance (Viola da Gamba) from the Peabody Institute and has studied in masterclasses with Wieland Kuijken, Paolo Pandolfo, and Philippe Pierlot.
Amy performs with ensembles including The Folger Consort, The Washington Bach Consort, and Musica Spira. She is a founding member of Sonnambula, Ensemble in Residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2018–2019), and the Frick Collection (2025-2026). She appears on more than 70 recordings across multiple genres, including Sonnambula’s world premiere of Leonora Duarte’s Sinfonias (Centaur Records), and Passing Fancy: Beauty in a Moment of Chaos (Avie).
