She holds a Bachelors of Music degree from the Curtis Institute, and earned her Masters of Music degree at the Julliard School. "There is an opal-like beauty in the viola playing of Jennifer Stumm?[she] has a wonderful way of finding color in a phrase and injecting phosphorescent energy through rhythm." -The Washington Post
