Audrey Snyder

Audrey Q. Snyder is a dedicated cello teacher, chamber musician, and advocate for music by living composers. She performs in a variety of styles and spaces⏤ among them the orchestra pit of Hamilton and onstage with The Who as touring principal cellist.

As a theater musician, Audrey has played in professional productions of The Lion King, Mary Poppins, The Bridges of Madison County, Oklahoma!, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Oliver!. Audrey also subbed regularly on Hamilton during its 3-year stay in Chicago and later toured with two other companies of the show.

In the interest of presenting music by living composers, Snyder produced, performed in and coordinated the live performance of New Music//New Film Collaborative, a year-long project that facilitated the creation of 5 new pieces with corresponding video art. She has presented solo recitals of contemporary works, including pieces by Tania León and Caroline Shaw, and performs with Minnesota-based Lake Pepin Chamber Music.

Audrey received a B.M. and M.M. from the Eastman School of Music, where she studied with Alan Harris.
