Currently, I am a member of the Washington Recorder Society and the recorder ensemble Sine Nomine. I love joining players and inviting them to events. In the years 2005 to 2017, I was a member of the group Marnatosnaha which plays medieval, renaissance, folk, and christian genres. I live in Washington DC and I am willing to play with you or give you some advice as such activities enrich me and fulfill my soul. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

testimonials

Adéla is not only a very fine musician, but a great teacher.  She is very insightful and helpful for students at every level.  She is patient, kind and generous, but also rigorous, and motivates students to challenge themselves and do their best.   

— Daniel B.

Adela is a very talented young musician and teacher. My 5-year old daughter takes recorder lessons with her, and the care and thought Adela gives each lesson is impressive and unique. She is a conscientious and responsible teacher, who tries to meet my child where she is in order to make recorder lessons a fun and rewarding experience for her. I highly recommend her.

— Andrea C.
