Wynne Flickinger Meisenbach got a very early start to her musical career
when she began studying the violin at the age of three (after having begged
her mother for eighteen months). She was performing professionally with
her family by the age of four, and took up piano lessons at the age of
five. Also at the age of five she was highlighted in a P.B.S. special
on child prodigies. At the age of seven, she was a featured guest on the
children's television show Mr.Peppermint. She made her debut as
a violin soloist with the Richardson Symphony Orchestra at the age of
ten, and performed again as a soloist the following year with the Summer
Conservatory Orchestra at the University of Texas at Dallas.
Shortly thereafter, she became a pupil of Robert Davidovici, of the University
of North Texas. She began composing at the age of twelve and added voice
lessons at age thirteen. After graduating from Booker T. Washington High
School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas with a concentration
in music, she attended the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory
of Music as a student of Naoko Tanaka and Dorothy DeLay. Subsequently
she studied violin with Motoi Takeda in Dallas.
After performing as a symphony musician in Dallas and the Dominican Republic,
she switched gears, began to study acting, and became a member of the
ensemble with the Dallas Children's Theater. She returned to music in
1996 and performed as a soloist with the Las Colinas Symphony Orchestra
in 1997. Having always had an interest in Gypsy and Eastern European Folk
music, she threw caution to the wind and moved to Hungary where she studied
Gypsy music and performed as the violinist in a Gypsy band.
When not performing music, she can be found hiking, reading, writing,
composing or playing her accordion for Pearce.
