Sydney Link
viola
Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio and currently residing in Montreal, Sydney has been playing the viola for fourteen years. Over the summers she has attended festivals including Tanglewood Institute, Orford International Academy, and NYU Karen Tuttle Workshop.
Sydney Link is a fourth year student at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music studying viola performance, with a minor in music entrepreneurship. Her main goal is to be a fulltime professional performer. Sydney studies with Andre Roy and has studied with Dr. Frederic Lambert.
She has been a member of the McGill Symphony Orchestra since her first year at university, and served as principal in their production with the McGill Opera of Mozart’s Magic Flute.
Sydney has premiered and recorded a piece for viola, harp, and flute by composer-in-residence Henri Colombat at the Schulich School of Music.
Sydney founded The Hildegarde Project with colleagues at Schulich in 2018 which puts together a presentation and program of music written and played by women for battered women, at a shelter in Montreal. She hopes to use her passion of classical music to uplift and engage women.
