Members of the Orchestra of St. Luke’s recently premiered her works ‘Insomnia’ for string quartet and ‘Tiny Chapters’ for flute and clarinet. The New York Times gave the performance of ‘Insomnia’ a favorable review, describing the work as “a quartet in which moments of intense emotionalism are offset by amusing touches and daring scoring effects”, and further compares Wynne’s writing to Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Purple Haze’. She is also co-writing and recording songs with vocalist/actress Bridget Barken. Wynne also recorded with Vanessa Daou, Pete Rock, Emil Mc Gloin, and DBR & The Mission. As a pianist, Wynne made her Kennedy Center debut at the age of 18 and has since performed in concert halls to clubs around the world. Wynne is currently performing internationally with the Tony Award Winning choreographer Bill T, Jones and his company, The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company in "Another Evening: I Bow Down" and was commissioned to compose and perform in their next work "A Quarreling Pair." She also collaborated with choreographer, Erick Montes and his dance company, and is music director for the Francesca Harper Project which premiered their newest work at the Holland Dance Festival in fall of 2007. She also is the keyboardist for Beetroot, who just released their album in Japan and opened up for GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. Wynne is currently a member of DBR & THe Mission and served as Music Director for the internationally acclaimed new music group for three years. She is recently being featured and was commissioned to collaborate in Daniel Bernard Roumain's newest solo work, One Loss Plus, which will premier at BAM's Next Wave Festival in fall of 2007.
