A native of St. Petersburg, Russia, Anastasia Ehrlich joined the second violins of the Houston Symphony in 2017 while performing in their first violin section as a contracted substitute.
After Anastasia moved to the United States at the age of 17, her musical career took a diversion into jazz and contemporary music. Realizing her passion for orchestral playing, she returned to her classical training and earned full scholarships to attend the Boston Conservatory studying with Lynn Chang, Indiana University with Jaime Laredo, and Rice University with Kathleen Winkler.
Anastasia has attended numerous music festivals including the Music Academy of the West, Sarasota Music Festival, Britten Pears Young Artists Program, and the New York String Orchestra Seminar at Carnegie Hall.
