Lauren Ellis Scott
Violin | Viola
Lauren Ellis Scott has worked with young musicians in Kindergarten through 12th grade in New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. She has been on the faculty of the The Philadelphia Youth Orchestra, Western Connecticut Youth Orchestra, DC Youth Orchestra Program, and Stringendo of the Hudson Valley. Lauren helped to implement an array of educational music programs presented by The Philadelphia Orchestra, including events with internationally-acclaimed soloists Yo-Yo Ma and Lang Lang.
Lauren performs with orchestras and chamber ensembles in the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland as both a violinist and violist, and she was awarded the 2009 Max Aronoff Prize for excellence in the fields of music education and instrumental performance.
Lauren has a long and loving history with Suzuki’s Talent Education. She made her first Carnegie Hall debut as a Twinkler in a play-in bigger than she could’ve imagined! This concert celebrated the 20th anniversary of The School for Strings (Dr. Suzuki was 93!). Lauren attended the Ithaca Suzuki Institute during elementary school and performed May Song as a soloist with the faculty orchestra. The Suzuki repertoire and emphasis on ear training has always guided her teaching. Her students have participated in their All-State Orchestras, received recognition through concerto competitions, and have made notable contributions to the field of music at conservatories and in their careers.
