Rebecca caught the music bug as a young student at the Settlement Music School in Philadelphia, PA. High school summers were spent at the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music (Nelson, NH) and Boston University Tanglewood Institute. She has remained actively playing ever since. Before moving to New Hampshire in 2018, Rebecca performed regularly throughout the New York area in community orchestras and chamber music ensembles. A 2022 National Flute Association solo competition winner, she currently plays with the Windham Philharmonic and Guilford Festival Orchestra in Vermont, and with the Westmoreland Town Band and River Mill Flutes in New Hampshire. She is the flute instructor at The Putney School (VT).
Rebecca holds an AB cum laude in sociology from Harvard and an MA in international and comparative education from Columbia University Teachers College. She is an independent fundraising consultant and writer on the arts. Her article, “From Women’s Clubs to MeetUps: Social Influences on Amateur Music-Making in America,” is published in the Oct/Nov 2019 issue of American Music Teacher.
Rebecca resides in Westmoreland, NH with her husband. They have two grown, musical daughters.
