We're dedicated to making our guests feel that they are valued members of the San Diego Chamber Orchestra family...from the very first moment of contact with us, whether it’s just a question to be answered or to buy a ticket, to the moment after the concert when concertgoers leave the concert feeling refreshed and filled with joy.

As far back as I can remember, I have always been surrounded by music. My mother is a classical singer in New York City, so I grew up listening to amazing choral and orchestral music when accompanying her to rehearsals. Classical music was, in many ways, the soundtrack to my life...through high school, college and beyond. When I moved from Connecticut to San Diego, I was lucky enough to work in the arts, specifically in classical music.

My love of music and theatre is what had drawn me most to the Chamber Orchestra and Jung-Ho's vision of concerts, not just as a night of music, but as an event to be lived and felt throughout your soul. I strongly believe that the arts world needs to break down the old models of presentation and explore the immediate, the wonderful and the extraordinary beauty that exists when true art is created.

I am very excited to be a part of this new venture in the music world and I encourage all San Diegans to experience this amazing energy for themselves by coming to a concert!

My love of music became apparent to my third grade teacher in a small rural Kansas town when I attempted to play the school piano. She began giving me lessons, sending me home with a cardboard keyboard to practice. My parents got the message, and my Christmas present that year was a real piano.

Classical music was new to me when I subscribed to a "Community Concert Series" in our county seat as an eighth grader. I loved it!

Eventually, I earned an M.S. in Music Education and taught vocal music for eight years in primary and secondary public schools before I switched to the corporate world and spent seventeen years marketing for IBM. However, I have always kept my fingers in the music world, directing church choirs, singing in choirs and as a season ticket-holder to the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra concerts.

I truly believe that "music is the international language," and I love being able to meld my marketing skills and knowledge of music together, working with the San Diego Chamber Orchestra, Jung-Ho and all of the wonderful people supporting the Orchestra.

Production and Education Manager

Since I was a child, I could be found running around backstage at the Civic Theater. Watching musicians and actors take the stage gave me a thrill, and the sound of the applause was addictive. I knew at a young age that I was destined to be in the performing arts, and I am thrilled to return to SDCO after a six-year hiatus.

My background in theater, opera, classical music, jazz, film, and visual art will be put to good use under the direction of Jung-Ho Pak, one of the most energetic and passionate artists I know.

Ensuring that the concerts run smoothly and the musicians have everything they need are two of my chief responsibilities. Outside of the concert hall, another segment of my responsibilities will be to focus on furthering the education mission of the Orchestra. We are planning to roll out some very exciting education opportunities for young musicians and families, and I am thrilled to be a part of those new programs. It is our vision that they will experience classical music as never before and that it will become an inspirational part of their lives.

I look forward to being a part of this Orchestra and seeing all of you soon!

Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.
~Edward George Bulwer-Lytton

I can’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t surrounded by music.
My parents were true enthusiasts, exposing me to everything from Bach to the blues. I began singing and playing the piano at a very young age and since then I have developed a sincere devotion to the arts and to all kinds of music…whether it’s in the form of more popular genres, or of a classical symphony.

I love my role as “Mama Red”, in the local blues band, “Mama Red & the North Park Band,” where I’m the lead singer and band manager, but my role as the Customer Relations Manager for this dynamic orchestra is a wonderful extension to my life.

I get the opportunity to utilize my background in customer relations as an office manager for a small business, coupled with my experience on and off-stage in the music world, to help me build lasting and genuine relationships with our guests.

In essence, I love music and I love interacting with people! I’m thrilled that my journey has led me here, to the San Diego Chamber Orchestra. I’m humbled to be given the chance to help realize Maestro Pak’s revolutionary vision and to help make the entire concert experience an unforgettable evening for our guests, one that will touch their souls.
