This event is made possible by the generosity of Michael Haight & Cathy Lee-Haight.
Cellist Rowena Hammill enjoys a varied career between Southern California and the Pacific Northwest. A year-round resident of Vashon Island, WA, naturally Rowena is Assistant Principal Cello of LA Opera.
She is an avid horseback rider, teaches cello at Pacific Lutheran University in Parkland, WA, and has appeared at WWCMF numerous times as cellist of the Girsky Quartet.
Just to put a finer point on the sheer variety of her life in music, Rowena coached actress Michelle Pfeiffer on how to play cello for her role as Claire Spencer in the film What Lies Beneath. With that title as directive, WWCMF Founder & Artistic Director Timothy Christie will ask the probing questions.
Artists: Timothy Christie, moderator; Rowena Hammill, cello; Thomas Rosenkranz, piano
