I've inserted my bio here: Tina Chancey 1-4-25

“She played quick movements deftly, and there was much to admire in her stylish ornamentation and in her careful shaping of the adagios and sarabandes.” New York Times

“She is practically a legend in the early music world, with a long list of credits that includes performer, record producer, teacher, composer, and impresario.” Fanfare Magazine
