A professional clarinetist, she has served the past 12 years as Dirctor of Music at several churches including Resurrection Lutheran in Oro Valley and most recently at Desert Hills Lutheran in Green Valley, Arizona. She is also the founder of the 90 voice Catalinas Community Chorus as well as the Clarinet Ensemble of Greater Oro Valley. A very gifted and accomplished musician, Cyndee has a mature faith, excellent organizing and motivational skills.
