Electric Barbie!!
Kelly Csillam Misko, aka Electric Barbie, received her Bachelors of Music from The Juilliard School with Jerome Ashby and Julie Landsman and is currently finishing her Masters of Music degree at Juilliard with Ms. Landsman. She appeared as a soloist at the world premiere and podcast of Douglas Townsend’s Chamber Concerto No. 3 and with the Musica Bella Orchestra performing Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 1. In 2009 she was named the principal horn player of the New York String Orchestra. She has performed alongside members of the Vienna Philharmonic, and has also appeared with the Long Island Philharmonic, the Pacific Music Festival Orchestra and the National Repertory Orchestra. As a chamber musician, Kelly premiered Eric Ewazen’s Bachauer Fanfare on radio station WQXR with the Vandalay Brass Quintet and performed with the American Brass Quintet as part of its 50th year anniversary concert. Also a talented composer, she was recently commissioned by the Arcadian Winds to write a chamber work called Trinity.
