History

The Amaryllis Chamber Ensemble was founded in 2000 by students from The Boston Conservatory. The original instrumentation of the ensemble was flute, violin and cello, however the group soon expanded to include other woodwind and stringed instruments. The ensemble took its name from flutist and composer Bonnie Cochran's piece entitled, "Amaryllis"--the first piece ever performed by the ensemble.
