Biography
In addition to my day job (my own business, which I love) I am a well trained musician. I have a BA in Music (double major, piano and organ) and did a considerable amount towards an MA (including a graduate recital) in Music (organ). I also developed my love of singing in college. I am now also a well-trained singer, performing with both choral groups and as a soloist (paid occasionally!). I'm also now in my second year of studing treble viola da gamba and have just picked up the pardessus de viole. I've participated in the San Francisco Early Music Society's Medieval and Renaissance music workshops for three years. I sing with the California Bach Society and in 2018 we were invited to be the opening Main Stage concert for the SFEMS-sponsored Berkeley Early Music Festival, performing an all-Charpentier concert. CBS specializes in Renaissance and Baroque music, with occasional forays into other centuries.
