Isabella Prater is a violist, originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, whose musical passions range across chamber music, community engagement, diverse and contemporary compositions, and arts administration. Isabella vigorously pursues programming diverse and contemporary composers, playing works by composers such as Jennifer Higdon, Tessa Lark, Caroline Shaw, and Joan Tower on her most recent solo recitals, and self-programming a classical music radio show on WSUM 91.7FM exploring underrepresented composers and artists. She graduated with a Master of Music at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music this Spring, where she studied with Ayane Kozasa, and received a Bachelor of Music at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Mead Witter School of Music studying with Sally Chisholm.
