Aileen Wiswakarma - Cello

IN-PERSON | VIRTUAL

Aileen Wiswakarma has been playing cello since she was 8 years old, starting lessons at Opus in 2009. She studied under Randy Ward, Elizabeth Smith, Julia Wen, William Kass, and Zoi Tzu-Jou Yeh. She was introduced to chamber music during her childhood and still performs in a quartet with her sisters and father. In 2019, she played in the Baltimore Symphony Youth Orchestra.

Although her artistic interests led her to pursue graphic design and earn an ASS degree at Carroll Community College, she never gave up music. Since late 2020, Aileen has been teaching beginner cello at Opus with the guidance of William Kass, her former and most recent cello teacher. In the summer of 2023, she completed the Level 1 Suzuki Cello course, gaining new insight from multiple instructors.
