In the Greater Boston area, she’s performed at Symphony Hall and Seiji Ozawa Hall under the baton of John Williams and Alan Gilbert.

Lisa’s plan for the jam: Lisa enjoys working in the arts administrative circuit because she considers it a ‘behind the scenes’ operation, making sure things run smoothly, all the while fostering great relationships with everyone from the teachers, to the students and their parents. Playing piano since age 6 and singing since practically forever, she enjoys helping children find connection to music the way she has all these years. She looks forward to making everyone’s experience at Jammin With You a comfortable, uplifting and organized one.
