Neha Nagaraj – Viola

Neha Nagaraj joined EMSO in 2024.

Neha has played the viola for over 12 years and started her journey in Maple Grove, MN. Music has always helped her feel connected to others, both with the audience or her fellow musicians.

She’s played with her high school’s top-auditioned string orchestra and had been part of the University of Minnesota’s campus orchestras every semester. Neha was introduced to EMSO through a friend, and joined after graduating college. She is thankful to be part of the encouraging community this group has built over the years.

Currently, Neha works as a medical scribe and will be starting medical school in Fall 2025. When she’s not working, you can find her reading, or knitting while watching the Great British Bake-Off.
