Phoenix Rising- Music Ensemble
Phoenix Rising, which is comprised of Wendy Loomis (composer/pianist), Monica Williams (flute), and one revolving guest artist (guzheng, guitar, drums, percussion, violin, cello or viola), is one of the most innovative and versatile performing ensembles in the Bay Area. Their music is mystical, powerful, and lyrical creating beautiful scenescapes of light and energy. They have performed at almost every type of venue in the United States and Europe from the quiet art gallery opening or private party to venues that demand more energy like clubs and street festivals. Their flexibility of instrumentation, broad range of music styles, and professional attitude make Phoenix Rising a desirable act that reaches audiences of all demographics.

Wendy Loomis has performed and recorded a broad range of compositions the extent of which can be heard on her six CD releases. She has won various awards for composition, most recently receiving the ASCAPlus award for the body of work created in the past two years.

• Monica Williams is a graduate of Eastman School of Music and has performed with orchestras in Chicago, Rochester, and Cincinnati. She is the conductor of Flock of Flutes (premiere flute choir of the Bay Area), teaches flute at Civic Arts Music Education of Walnut Creek.

"Artistic director, pianist and composer Wendy Loomis paints with a broad palette of jazz, classical, new age, avant garde and world colors, fusing styles ranging from Debussy to Thelonius Monk." (Kelley Dolan, Bella Online Music Critic)
