 Angela Shyr is a violinist and pianist whose rigorous classical
training extended beyond private lessons at an early age. She was on
stage performing for Yehudi Menuhin by age 7, playing the halls of
Musikverein, Vienna, by 16 under that baton of Benjamin Zander
(founder/director/conductor of the Boston Philharmonic), and played
debut solo with an orchestra in Paris at 14.
Angela attended Longy School of Music, New England Conservatory and
was already a professional piano accompanist during her years at
Eastman School of Music. During these formative years, she was always
traveling to Europe to perform. After college, she traveled to
Morocco, West Africa and other parts of the world to play with local
musicians and record music in their respective countries.
In addition to appearing regularly with chamber and orchestral groups
in Portland and Boston, she has delved into a world of other musical
repertoire including pop, rock and world music. She has performed or
recorded with Led Zeppelin, the B-52's, Guster, The O'Jays, The
Temptations, Isaac Hayes, Sarah MacLachlan, Silencio, Snow Patrol, and
Santogold, as well as on a host of TV/movie projects such as PBS' This
Old House, Antiques Roadshow and Hyundai car commercials. She has also played with the Ornette Coleman Trio, (Jazz), at Carnegie Hall.
Currently, she thoroughly enjoys a colorful palette of recording,
performing and teaching an incredible posse of vibrant students.

1a. http://stringscalm.com/Listen.html (classical flute trio demo. I have a longer CD at home but didn't include all of it on the Web for copyright reasons. When I used to send the CD, people asked to buy it because I recorded and displayed full-length songs.)
2. http://jetset4tet.com (non-classical, 3-rock-quartet demo)
3. http://www.gigmasters.com/classicaltrio/StringscalmJetset/ (this is a customer booking site page but it has a few classical tunes that the stringscalm link doesn't have, like the Mozart Romanza and Wachet Auf), videos and much more display of my diversity including a couple pop/rock videos of me performing (not classical though.)
