A New World and More…
We hope you enjoyed our Romantic Classics concert as much as we enjoyed performing for you!
For our April 19, 2026 concert, we will perform Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, and we have an amazing multi-talented guest soloist joining us: Dr. Deborah H. How (piano, flute/piccolo). She will perform Cesar Frank’s Variations Symphoniques on piano.
She received her BA from Swarthmore College, MA from the UCLA Herb Albert School of Music, PhD from the USC Thornton School of Music, and MBA from the Isenberg School of Management at UMass Amherst. She is the Owner & Executive Director of the Westside Music Conservatory in Los Angeles (Brentwood), where she maintains an active studio with national competition winners in piano, flute, chamber music, and composition. She has had several ARCT Diploma graduates (piano) and National Gold Medal winners (piano & flute) from The Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) in Toronto. She is an active chamber musician in both Los Angeles and Philadelphia, and she will be featured as a piccolo concerto soloist with the Passacaglia Chamber Orchestra in January 2026 and piano concerto soloist with the Beach Cities Symphony Orchestra in April 2026.
Dr. How is also widely known as a connection builder and fundraising architect for nonprofit arts organizations and is a member of the MTNA Business Resource Network. She is the CEO & Co-Founder of multiple music-related consulting and technology companies, including Pagoda Artworks, Musical Etudes, and the former Bravura Innovations.
