Peggy’s life-long commitment to the cello was inspired by her mother, who is a professional cellist in the Seattle area. Peggy’s study of music took her from the Pacific Northwest to California, where she graduated with honors from the University of Southern California. Shortly thereafter, she won principle chair with the Fresno Philharmonic, where she earned recognition for her orchestral solos. In addition to performing with a wide variety of symphonies and chamber music groups, she developed a serious interest in studio work and exploring the voice of the cello in unique musical settings. Peggy has shown her versatility as a cellist on numerous recording sessions for movies and has performed on several albums, including those of Kiss, Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake, Michael Buble and George Harrison. Peggy has worked with a wide spectrum of artists, ranging from Dionne Warwick, Henry Mancini, Yanni and Harry Connick, Jr. to ELO, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Brian Wilson and Adele. Some of her TV appearances include The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres, The Grammys, American Music Awards, The Oscars, The Dick Clark New Year’s Eve Countdown, VH1 Storytellers, The Voice and American Idol. Peggy has recorded a solo album, “String of Whispers” and continues to seek new experiences over a broad musical spectrum.
