She has been hailed by the New York Times as a "stylish player" for her concerto playing in Carnegie Hall, and by Robert Mann of the Juilliard Quartet as "one of America's most important violists." Ms. Browne has soloed with the Juilliard Orchestra, Kiev Philharmonic, New World Symphony, in Carnegie Hall with the New York Women's Ensemble, South African International Viola Congress Festival Orchestra and the Viva Vivaldi!, Reina Sofia and German-French chamber orchestras, among others. Ms. Browne is the violist of the Serafin String Quartet and full-time faculty at the University of Delaware, as well as a member of the Fire Pink Trio. Ms. Browne received a Naumburg scholarship and a Bachelor of Music degree at The Juilliard School, where she was famed pedagogue Karen Tuttle's teaching assistant for four years.
