   About myrajoy
Myrajoy has been making odd noises on the cello since her parents first let it into her grip when she was six years old. This page is dedicated to all her cello stuff. So, the cool little solo bits that don't get much playing in the bands she plays with as well as the array of bands. All of which are good, of course, too - and whose concerts will be posted here. She is a founding member of the band Babes in the Woods and Elameno Quintet, and has performed with Bay Area artists including Kitka, The Black Brothers, Melanie O’Reilly, and David Serotkin. She has a B.M. in cello performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music where she studied with Jean-Michel Fonteneau. She has participated in masterclasses and festivals with cellists such as Stephen Geber, Richard Aaron, Nathaniel Rosen, and Peter Reijto, and studied privately with Debbie Tandoc, Peter Gelfand, Page Smith, and Andor Toth.

Thank you very much for adding me to your circle of friends. I love the diverse influences that you bring into your music and playing.

I would like to invite you to listen to my TELLURIC DANCES for oboe and orchestra (very similar in influences to your tracks on MySpace), my STRING QUARTET NO. 1 (THE AWAKENING) performed by the St. Lawrence String Quartet and two of my piano trios performed by the Gryphon Trio: ODD WORLD, on my audio player and OLD PHOTOGRAPHS on the Gryphon Trio site (www. myspace. com/gryphontrio.)

You can hear an excerpt from my cello concerto, CONFESSIONAL at Shauna Rolston’s website at http://www. shaunarolston. com/shauna. html

I wish you all the best,

Hi Myra!

Thanks again for attending my concert last night! It was great meeting you and Heidi and I'm glad you enjoyed the music!

I saw a pic of you performing at the Coffee Gallery, that place is near where I'm at. Do let me know when you're performing in L.A. again and I'll do my best to attend.

Cheers!
