Autorenporträt

Dr. Lisa Redpath began her study of instrumental music in the public schools of her suburban Pittsburgh hometown community. After many years of playing flute and piccolo in the school band program she took up the study of the French horn, a musical switch that led her to symphonic playing in neighborhood orchestras. Later, while studying music education at Edinboro University in Pennsylvania, she fell in love with the community orchestras she had joined as a supplemental, paid professional. Her experiences with community orchestras throughout the Western Pennsylvania region shaped her entire professional career.During the 1980s Redpath moved to Boston and earned the M.A. degree in musicology from Boston University and M.L.S. from Simmons College, all the while continuing to play in regional, Massachusetts orchestras. Her lifelong devotion to community ensembles continued for the next few decades while she taught in public school, collegiate, and studio settings. In 2014 she completed her Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Music Education from Boston University.While living in Sharon, Massachusetts, she learned of the conducting post vacancy for the Sharon Community Chamber Orchestra and while endeavoring to educate herself about the town's musical history, she stumbled upon references to the Sharon Civic Orchestra. Her curiosity led her to a focused quest for information about the ensemble and, ultimately, the completion of her doctoral dissertation about the organization.Redpath's passion for local history, coupled with her love for the Sharon Community Chamber Orchestra and Brockton Symphony Orchestra, inspired her to continue her research about these other orchestras from the area. After many years of investigation, she is delighted and honored to present historical and human-interest tales of the Brockton Symphony Orchestra, Sharon Civic Orchestra, and Sharon Community Chamber Orchestra.
