Cindy McDonald
Recorders
My interest in music began when I learned the guitar at age 10. I have sung in church and community choirs all of my life and my husband and I enjoy performing both vocal and instrumental duets. I learned the soprano recorder on a whim during the pandemic and added the alto only recently. I love playing with Musicke Antiqua and find it both challenging and rewarding
