Adriana Stamile

Teacher of Voice and Violin

Departments

Born and raised in Roebuck, SC, Adriana Stamile is a passionate violinist, vocalist, and educator in the Upstate.

Having recently finished her master’s degree in Violin Performance with a Distinction in Performance from Converse University, Adriana spent the summer playing string quartets in Burlington, Vermont at Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival and completing the first levels of Suzuki training, so as to be able to have a new set of skills to offer her students. She previously received her undergraduate degrees in Violin Performance and Vocal Performance from Converse University.

She was concertmaster of Converse Symphony Orchestra for the 2024-2025 season, and performed the Barber Violin Concerto as a winner of the Young Artist Competition. Singing has always been a big part of Adriana’s life (not to mention a highly contributing factor to her violinistic journey). She has sung with Spartanburg Master Chorale, Spartanburg Repertory Opera, Converse Opera Theatre, and Converse Chorale. She has played with Converse Symphony Orchestra, Converse Opera Theatre, Piedmont Chamber Orchestra, Spartanburg Philharmonic, Masterworks Festival, Eastern Music Festival (as Assistant Concertmaster and Principal Second), and Festwoche in Germany. In addition to performing,

Adriana cares deeply about nurturing her students and helping them to grow in their musicality, technique, and knowledge of music. She sees it as a unique privilege to be someone’s private music teacher and views it as an opportunity to both educate in the knowledge of the instrument itself and also to nurture and be a positive influence in the life of a young person. Adriana has taught for Lawson Academy of the Arts since 2021.

When she is not making music or teaching, you can often find her hiking, reading, making coffee, exploring antique stores, and spending time with her family and precocious cat, Frodo.
