Currently principal clarinet of the Florida Grand Opera and the Palm Beach Symphony and bass clarinet with Miami’s acclaimed Nu Deco Ensemble, she has also performed professionally with groups such as the American Ballet Theatre Orchestra, The Orchestra of St. Luke’s, The Colorado Music Festival Orchestra, and the American Symphony Orchestra. She is also a founding member of the Lakes Area Music Festival in Brainerd, Minnesota, a progressive summer music festival dedicated to providing classical music concerts free of charge. She has performed in venues such as the Metropolitan Opera House, Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, and at the Caramoor festival, and with conductors such as Marin Alsop, Pablo Heras-Casado, Ramón Tebar, and Emmanuel Villaume.   An avid performer, Ms. Brumbaugh performed as a soloist with the Miami Mozarteum Orchestra, the Lakes Area Music Festival Orchestra, and for the Florida Premiere of Harold Farberman’s “Triple Play: A Concerto for Clarinet” under the baton of Guillermo Figueroa with the Lynn Conservatory Orchestra. In addition to her current season with the Florida Grand Opera and Nu Deco Ensemble, the 2017-2018 season will include Ms. Brumbaugh as principal clarinet with the American Symphony Orchestra for the US Premiere of Dvorak’s opera Dimitrij, presented by Bard SummerScape. She will also be the debut soloist as part of the Lynn Conservatory Alumni Recital Series, presenting a solo recital in the Fall of 2017.  A passionately dedicated educator, Ms. Brumbaugh worked as a mentor for the Juilliard Pre-College Division and taught students through two of Juilliard’s Educational Outreach Programs, the “Music Advancement Program” and the “Instrumental Music Program.” She is currently the clarinet professor at the New World School of the Arts and Miami Arts Charter School.  Awarded with a full scholarship to study from Irene Diamond, Ms. Brumbaugh earned her Master of Music degree from the Juilliard School in May of 2013. She was awarded her Professional Performer’s Certificate in 2015 from Lynn University and her Bachelor of Music with High Distinction and the coveted Performer’s Certificate from the  Eastman School of Music in 2011. Her major teachers have included Jon Manasse and Big Jackson. A native of Boulder, Anna enjoys hiking, camping, and discovering new craft breweries in her beautiful home state of Colorado.  Lisa Leonard Hailed as a pianist who “communicates great musical understanding through a powerful and virtuosic technique”, LISA LEONARD enjoys a diverse career as soloist, chamber musician, and educator. In 1990 at the age of 17, Ms. Leonard made her debut with the National Symphony Orchestra in six concerts at the Kennedy  Center. She has appeared throughout Europe, Japan, Russia, and North America with many orchestras including the Redlands Symphony Orchestra, the Oregon Mozart Players, and the Simon Bolivar Orchestra of Venezuela with conductors including Gunther Schuller and Gustavo Dudamel. An active and dedicated chamber musician, her recent collaborations have included recitals with Elmar Oliveira, Marc Reese and Guillermo Figueroa. She is a long time member of the Palm Beach Chamber Players and has performed with members of the Concertgebouw, Berlin, Vienna, New York, Cleveland, Dallas, Minnesota and Cincinnati Symphonies; American and Miami String Quartets, and the Empire Brass Quintet in performances featured on National Public Radios’ “Performance Today” and “Command Performance” programs. Her love of new music has resulted in several premieres of both solo and chamber music including James Stephenson’s Concerto for Trumpet and Piano which was written for her and her husband, Marc Reese, which they premiered with the Lynn University Philharmonia. The performance was noted as one of South Florida’s Top 10 performances of 2007 which also included her performance of the Brahms F minor Piano Quintet at the Palm Beach Chamber Music Festival. Critic Lawrence Budmen said, “Her stellar technique, deeply penetrating musicality and volcanic power turned Brahms’ darkly ruminative score into an edge of the seat tour de force. She uncovered new sonic layers in an awesome deconstruction of a chamber music masterpiece.” Ms. Leonard has served on the faculties of the North Carolina School of the Arts, the  Meadowmount School of Music as a collaborative pianist, and the Las Vegas Music Festival. She is currently the head of the Graduate Instrumental Collaborative Piano Program at Lynn University where she also directs the annual New Music Festival, a week-long celebration of modern music which has presented more than fifty world premieres since 2006. She has performed at many festivals including the Pacific Music Festival, Gilmore International and Caramoor; has been featured on Japan’s NHK television network, PBS and can be heard on the Klavier, Centaur, and Summit labels. A native of Washington D.C., Ms. Leonard received her M.M. and B.M. from the Manhattan School of Music where she was the premiere recipient of both the Rubinstein and Balsam awards, two of the highest awards given. Her former teachers include Marc Silverman, Suzanne W. Guy, Eric Larsen, Isidore Cohen, Thomas Schumacher, Cynthia Phelps and David Geber.
