About Carol
Carol's been immersed in music since infancy - her parents' Celtic and Italian heritage and their recordings spanning early Simon & Garfunkel, The Kingston Trio, Petula Clark, Bobbie Gentry, and too many classical and jazz artists to name. She spent her teen years listening to all sorts of classical music, The Beatles, '70s folk and pop, Motown, and progressive rock.
A multi instrumentalist, she's played on releases by Sinead O’Connor, Kandi Burruss, and Mariah Carey, on stage near Memphis legend Teenie Hodges on Cat Power's 2006 tour, in backup orchestras for Joni Mitchell, The Moody Blues, and Brian Wilson, and in the Atlanta Opera Orchestra. As a singer, she performed with the Atlanta Symphony Chorus for nearly two decades, including a small-ensemble UK tour presenting Golijov’s opera “Ainadamar.” She's also played/sung as a side musician with Out of the Rain, whose first release charted on the international Roots Music Report. Working for NARAS (of the GRAMMY Awards and MusiCares) both professionally and on a national nominating committee gave her an illuminating perspective on the music "industry." All of these experiences find their way into her music.
While a public radio announcer in diversified formats, she scripted and produced the series A Celebration of Women Composers. As a music journalist, Carol spent delightful hours interviewing conductor Robert Shaw and composer Joan Tower for High Performance Review magazine.
As a music therapist, Carol served for decades in medical, educational, and university settings.
She’s a post-graduate certificant of the Contemplative Musicianship Program under the direction of Therese Schroeder-Sheker through the Chalice of Repose Project, Inc.®
Developing online presence for Statella Design is a vocation.
Carol is an amateur iPhonographer, avid reader, slow hiker, and occasional hand crafter.
