Andrea Altona
Violin
When asked how Andrea was introduced to music, she humorously replied, “A pushy orchestra conductor accosted me in the halls of my elementary school; promising me fame and fortune.  Then she told me they were all out of flutes and shoved a violin in my hand.  The rest is kind of a blur.”  Regardless, Andrea discovered a deep love for music that has kept her performing throughout the years, even though she still managed to acquire a MBA in Marketing, a real estate license and experience as a stockbroker and mortgage broker. When asked about her non-musical interests, Andrea answered, "I love animals, scuba-diving in tropical locations, tennis, fixing up houses and reselling them, the stock market, and cheese; not necessarily in that order.”
