    Her sister Julie is the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra principal cello. A very impressive family!

    Excellent choice! She’s a wonderful player. Many years ago I was a judge at the Juilliard School for seating placement in the Juilliard Orchestra. She stood head and shoulders above everyone who played that day. We awarded her 10 out of 10 points.
