Mia Bella D’Augelli is a violinist, teacher, and composer exploring a varied life of music-making. On alternating days, she can be found getting into the musical weeds or improvising in solitude or with friends and students, playing brand new chamber music alongside traditional classical repertoire, and on stage with the Portland Symphony Orchestra. As an orchestral musician, she started playing in the back of the second violin section at age 7 in her local community orchestra. She received a B.A. in Music Performance from Mills College in 2014, studying with Gloria Justen, and continues to seek new perspectives. Mia Bella moved to Maine in 2019 from Oakland, California, after visiting Portland once on tour with Redwood Tango Ensemble. She teaches out of her home studio in Standish as well as through Gorham School of Music, and enjoys outdoor and indoor adventures with her husband, Eric, and cat, Drogo.
