MIT Music and Theater Arts

Melbourne is a senior majoring in physics (course 8) and minoring in biology (course 7) and music (course 21M). She is conducting research on the immune response to influenza vaccines and will be pursuing a PhD in biophysics. Having participated in MIT’s Chamber Music Society since freshman year, she has enjoyed making music in ensembles ranging from duets to quintets. She joined the Emerson/Harris Program for Private Study in her junior year to further her musical immersion. She currently studies with Mi-Eun Kim at MIT and previously studied with Genia Betman in Brooklyn, NY. As a member of MIT Ribotones, Melbourne has also organized and performed in concerts at assisted living facilities and community centers throughout the Greater Boston Area. Outside of music, you can find her concocting uniquely-flavored homemade ice cream in the French House kitchen or exploring Boston’s neighborhoods on Sunday morning runs.
