Marielle Roselli
Co-President
Marielle Roselli is a high school senior attending North Shore Country Day School in Winnetka, Illinois. She was drawn to music from the earliest age beginning with piano. But by the age of seven, she found her love of violin when she started playing as part of the Winnetka Public Schools’ Suzuki Program. By age ten, she enrolled in the Music Institute of Chicago and began studying with Addison Teng. Marielle has participated in Midwest Young Artists orchestras, MIC’s chamber music program and attended Suzuki Music Camps at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. For the past three years, she has been a student at the intensive Fulton Summer Music Academy. In addition to music, Marielle is involved in Model UN and is an avid tennis player. Marielle’s desire to make the transformational Summer Music Academy experience accessible to more talented young musicians led her to the creation of the Fulton Ambassadors in 2023.
