Her chamber ensemble, Trio Verus, had the honor of competing in the 2025 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, where they also served as Peer Ambassadors for Chamber Music through the PACMan program.

 

She has been a member of the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra led by Maestro Benjamin Zander for the past four seasons, performing alongside musicians such as Zlatomir Fung, Leland Ko, and Guy Braunstein on performance tours to Mexico, South Africa, and throughout Europe.

A longtime student of Deborah Boykan, who instilled in her a commitment to making music accessible to all, Daphne is deeply engaged in her community through music. She leads a community chamber group that performs for local nonprofits to build cultural awareness, support vulnerable populations, and share their love of music. Daphne also studies piano with Cara Quinn, runs on her school’s varsity cross-country team and has performed in the pit orchestra of her high school’s musical production, Something Rotten!. In her spare time, she enjoys crocheting and spending time with her dog, Pongo.
