2008-2009 Personnel
Alice is a Toledo native who was taught by area violin teachers Mrs. Betty Foster and Dr. Paul Makara. She received BS in Ed, Master of Music, and Doctor of Arts degrees from Ball State University, studying with Otto Feld and Robert Slaughter. Interim studies included summers at Brevard Music Center, Rocky Ridge Music Center, Taos School of Chamber Music, University of Oregon, and numerous workshops including the New York Pro Musica and the Early Music Ensemble.
She spent a year of study and travel with the German Music Center program of the U. of Oregon, which included working with conductor Helmut Rilling, and violin study with recording artist Suzanne Lautenbacher. Since her return to Toledo in 1978 she has been a violinist in the Toledo Symphony, and since 1980 with the Toledo Opera.
Beside the violin, her other area of musical interest is in early music, the subject on which she wrote her dissertation. Since 1980 she has also been a part-time UT faculty member as director of the early music ensemble, Collegium Musicum. In 1979 she initiated the community ensemble Musica Antigua de Toledo, in which she sings and plays several historical instruments. The group has its own series concerts, and also performs in the schools as part of the Arts Education Project of the Toledo Public Schools.
She also plays viola and is the violist in the Scandia String Quartet as well as Strings of Choice performing ensembles. She is a member of Sigma Alpha Iota Music Fraternity, Euterpean Music Club, American Recorder Society, Early Music America and American Musicological Society. Outside of music activities, she loves travel and spending time at home with her several cats.
Barbara is a graduate of Bowling Green State University with a BS in Ed (Music) degree, and has done considerable research on colonial American music, a special interest. She is an active member of the American Guild of Organists, Sigma Alpha Iota (SAI) - women's music fraternity, Euterpean music club, and several genealogy societies. Barbara is a widow, has three grown children and four grand-children. Three cats reside in her home. She enjoys genealogy research, gardening and sewing. Now semi-retired, she does substitute organ work at Toledo churches for services, weddings, and memorials.
We are sad to report that David passed away in December 2009 after a brave battle with cancer, shortly after performing in our Fall concert. The members of MAdT lovingly dedicate the remainder of the 2009-2010 season to his memory. Please click here to find out how you can contribute toward the purchase of one of his personal instruments for MAdT's permanent collection. Thank you!
Andrea is a native of Toledo and graduated from the University of Toledo with a degree in Communication. She originally trained as a clarinetist but joined Dr. Petersen's Collegium Musicum while a student at UT. There, she began her study of the recorder, and she has taken part in workshops conducted by Shelley Gruskin, Ken Wollitz, and Martha Bixler. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and needlework. She currently lives in Toledo and works as a travel agent.
Like most lutenists, John began with the classical guitar, but could not resist the charms of early music. He studied with James Moore in Richmond, Virginia and then took master classes at Yale with noted guitarist Sharon Isbin. He built his first lute from an Isaacs and Harwood kit to play with the Yale Collegium Musicum. After college he entered the MD/PhD program at the University of Virginia in the 1980s, where he took up the bass viol in addition to lute as a member of the UVa Collegium Musicum.
The rigors of clinical training, residency and career forced him to put aside his musical interests for almost 20 years, but in 2006 he joined Musica Antigua de Toledo where he was coerced to sing as well as play lutes and viol. Since joining the group, he has taken lessons and master classes from Ronn McFarland, Paul O'Dette, Nigel North and Pat O'Brien, and in 2008 attended the summer seminar of the Lute Society of America. When not performing early music, John is a Professor of Neurology at the University of Toledo College of Medicine. John and Holly have three above average children.
Legend has it that Carol sang before she learned to talk. She is a North Carolina native and recent Toledo transplant with a wide and varied background in vocal music. She has performed with a variety of community and professional music organizations, most recently the Worthington Chorus (under the direction of Gordon Franklin and Sherman Moyer), the Akron Symphony's Gospel Chorus (guest soloist, under the batons of Alan Balter and Charles Floyd), and the Toledo Symphony Palm Sunday Chorus (under the baton of Bernard Sanchez). Her experience runs the gamut including classical, contemporary, Broadway, sacred, gospel, folk, Celtic traditional, and now Early Music. (Did we mention she's slightly ADD?)
She is a graduate of The Ohio State University with a degree in natural resources communications. She is a freelance writer and published author who lives in Holland with her family and two highly opinionated dachshunds.
