NEW VIDEO!! Playing cello for amazing vocalist, Hamed Nikpay:
playing backup for Hans York in Fresno:
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 and recorded with artists including Kitka, The Black Brothers, Hamed Nikpay and Melanie O’Reilly. 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.
Myra! I was just listening to your CD on the way home from Santa Cruz yesterday! I especially love the beautiful intro on the last track. No, I've not heard of Golden Toad, but I hope to see you at The Land!!

Hey Myra, Great playin' on my CD yesterday. You are the bestest! I'm so glad you could make it up here to the Northwest. Hope to play with you again soon.
Myra when will you be free so I can use your head for my braiding experiments? Fun fun. Also great Hanz concert on Friday. It was great to see you for like 5 minutes. Have fun at Lark Camp and say hi to Will for me when you see him. He went up a week in advance to help Micky. I'm all alone in my house, if only I knew more about throwing parties... I should really learn :-).
oh my goodness...I am so bad about checking myspace and therefore missed you! darn! Please let me know when you're coming back through Los Angeles. Where are you now?
Myra you're new song and the video with Hanz were beautiful. Thanks for sharing *hugs*. Hope you're getting you're much needed rest before hitting the road again. See you soon!
