Amati Players
Amati Players is an intermediate-level string ensemble that nurtures young musicians with a focus on collaboration and artistic development. Under the guidance of Joseph Elworthy, President & CEO of the Vancouver Academy of Music and Professor & Division Chair of Cello, the group performs two exciting programs each year, including a commissioned premiere and a featured soloist from within the ensemble and VAM faculty.
