Currently she is a core member of the Trinity Alps chamber players and performs regularly with numerous ensembles up and down the west coast. Paula presently studies with Joy Fellows. \n\nNatalie Raney fell in love with the cello when she was nine years old after her coolest\, childhood role model began playing it in the house next door.  Her journey has led her across the country and landed her in San Francisco in pursuit of her ultimate love\, chamber music. \nShe has had the opportunity to perform chamber music with such musicians as Kim Kashkashian\, Menahem Pressler\, Norman Fischer\, Geoff Nuttall\, Bonnie Hampton\, Roberto Diaz\, Ian Swensen\, Paul Hersh\, and the Arianna String Quartet.  While in her graduate studies\, her quartet was invited by the Muir String Quartet to participate in the Emerging Quartets and Composers Program\, where she worked closely with composer Joan Tower.  After moving to San Francisco\, her quartet was invited to perform at the Kennedy Center on the Millennium Stage\, and later that year was a finalist for the Coleman Chamber Music Competition.  She has studied chamber music under members of the Tokyo\, Pacifica\, Brentano\, Vermeer\, Muir\, Arianna\, and Alexander String Quartets. \nNatalie recently graduated from the San Francisco Conservatory receiving an Artist Certificate in Chamber Music studying under Jean-Michel Fonteneau.  She received her Master of Music degree at Boston University under Marc Johnson\, former cellist of the Vermeer Quartet and received a Bachelor of Music under Kurt Baldwin and the Arianna Quartet at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. \n\nRachel Kim\, born in Seoul\, South Korea\, began her formal piano studies with Helen Smith Tarchalski at the age of 11.

As part of our ongoing mission to use the transformative power of the arts to inspire and enrich our community\, we have opened our doors for the past two years\, every Wednesday at Noon\, and presented concerts performed by talented musicians that are free of charge to the public. These free noon performances offer listeners the opportunity to discover the beauty of music in an intimate accessible setting\, while providing the community with cultural enrichment and exposure to talented performers. \nConcerts are in a one-hour format and performances take place in the intimate Tivoli or Crescendo where both audience and musicians can sit in vibrant\, close proximity. Musicians often stay after the performance to informally speak about the program and their upcoming concerts. \n
