Lauren Cony, Piano
Lauren Cony received her B.A. in Piano from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, and her M.M. from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Her principal teachers include Sharon Mann, Paul Hersh, Pola Baytelman, and Laurette Goldberg on harpsichord. She teaches at the San Francisco Conservatory and the San Francisco Community Music Center, and maintains a busy private studio. She is an alumna of the Bowdoin Summer Chamber Music Festival, the Banff Centre for the Arts, and Oberlin in Casalmaggiore, Italy. In March of 2002, she was the first musician to be sponsored by the Helen von Ammon fund for emerging artists, playing a solo recital on the Noontime Concert Series at St. Patrick's church in San Francisco. As an avid chamber musician, she has performed at Berkeley's Hillside Concerts, the CMC's Shenson Faculty Concert series, and at Old St. Mary's Church on the Noontime Series. She also frequently collaborates with 4-hand partner Jennifer Peringer in piano duet recitals, and has performed with distinguished artists such as soprano Lucine Amara and clarinetist Richard Stoltzman. In June of 2006, she performed Mozart's Concerto K. 467 at the San Francisco Jewish Community Center with the CMC orchestra, as a winner of the Center's faculty piano competition.
 
Sarah Holzman, flutist, is an active performer in both chamber music recitals and with many of the Bay Area's symphony and opera orchestras. She is also a founding member of San Francisco's Laurel Ensemble, a flexible quartet dedicated to performing the rich chamber repertoire written for mixed strings and winds. Sarah attended the Oberlin Conservatory and College, where she studied with Michel Debost. Her graduate degree is from the San Francisco Conservatory, where she studied with Timothy Day.
