Raised in Portland, OR, Megumi Stohs grew up with the dream of studying agricultural science. The summer she turned sixteen, she attended the Olympic Music Festival, held on a beautiful farm in Washington State, and realized that chamber music and the countryside were a perfect combination. She immediately went home and started a quartet, and ever since, chamber music has been the avenue for her most euphoric musical experiences.

Megumi has soloed with orchestras throughout the US and Japan, and has toured with ensembles to Australia, New Zealand and Europe. In the New England area she is a co-founder of A Far Cry Chamber Orchestra, has been a guest with the Radius Ensemble, the Andover Chamber Music Series, and the North Country Chamber Players and regularly plays with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Opera Boston, the Rhode Island Philharmonic and has served as concertmaster for the National Lyric Opera. Starting in 2008, Megumi picked up the baroque violin and quickly fell for the gut strings and a variety of period bows. She also loves to fiddle and play rock and regularly tours with Britain's Jethro Tull.

During the summers, Megumi is able to satisfy her longing for the country in many beautiful places, including the Olympic, Yellowbarn, Kneisel Hall, Taos, Marrowstone, and Aspen Festivals. She hikes, swims, and spends time outdoors as often as possible during the year. Listening to vinyl, cooking for friends and reading also give great pleasure.

Megumi received her musical training at the San Francisco and New England Conservatories studying with Camilla Wicks, Ian Swensen, and Lucy Chapman.
