A longtime bit player in the Southern California early music multiverse, Amy Wang has performed with the usual suspects—the original Los Angeles Baroque Orchestra, Musica Angelica, Tesserae, Bach Collegium San Diego, L.A. Camerata—as well as a smattering of Bay Area groups including California Bach Society and Voices of Music. About a million years ago, as a film studies undergrad at UC Berkeley, she began the permanent switch from modern to baroque violin performance under the guidance of David Tayler and Elizabeth Blumenstock, and subsequently performed at the Berkeley Early Music Festival as a semifinalist in the American Bach Soloists International Young Artists Competition. At USC, she played in the Early Music Ensemble led by James Tyler while getting her MFA in screenwriting at the School of Cinematic Arts.
