2. INTRODUCING OUR NEW CELLIST: HANNAH ADDARIO-BERRY

Hannah Addario-Berry performed her first concert with Del Sol officially as our new cellist during the residency at the Walden School in New Hampshire in July.

Hannah succeeds Monica Scott, who supplied the prerequisite bass line over the last four years. We thank Monica and her husband, Dominique, for their hard work and artistic contributions.

Many of you have seen Hannah in performance with us at our recent collaborations with Melody of China, while she was substituting for Monica, who was recovering from a finger injury.

We are currently in residence at the Tahoe Music Festival Academy and Bay Area fans will be able to hear Hannah in her first local concert as the Del Sol cellist this Saturday in San Jose (please see above for details)
