Goodbye & Welcome!

After an engaging stint as Administrator Awesomeness, Tara Leenders is passing the torch to Marie Gallagher. Welcome Administrator Marie to the Admin team for All-City Band!

Marie started playing bassoon at 13 years old while in High School in Edinburgh. It wasn’t long before she was spending most of her evenings and holidays playing in various youth orchestras and touring Europe and the US. Later, while studying ecology at university, she played with the National Youth Orchestra of Scotland as well as the Edinburgh Festival Orchestra and other semi-professional orchestras in the UK. These days Marie has been playing classical music on bassoon with Celestial Winds and Orchestra North as well as some funky baselines in the Fiddleheads Back Up Band. Marie has also recently begun studying the Irish whistle and plays with other traditional musicians here in Whitehorse.
