Brandywine

The Brandywine Trio, formed in 2006, has been heard on WXXI Rochester’s “Live From Hochstein” Broadcast and in a benefit concert for the Susan B. Anthony House historical site hosted by Rochester’s landmark Third Presbyterian Church, as well as in numerous other performances in western New York.  The Brandywine Trio specializes in music written by women, and gave the first performance of the revised version of Orianna Webb’s Piano Trio after working closely with the composer.  All three members of the Brandywine Trio studied in Cleveland, and the group is named for the beautiful Brandywine Falls southeast of the city.

Pianist Doleen Hood holds degrees from CIM—where she was an Accompanying Fellow and recipient of the Gwendolyn Koldofsky Award in accompanying—and  the D'Angelo School of Music. Her extensive work as a collaborative pianist and coach includes the Dale Warland Singers, Annapolis and Baltimore Operas, Heifetz Institute, Paul Hill Chorale and Washington Singers, Baltimore Chamber Chorale, Chesapeake Chorale and studio work at the Eastman School and the Peabody Institute.  She has also been featured on recitals and concert series throughout the United States and Eastern Europe – as well as a recent tour of Ireland.  She has taught at the MacPhail School, Crown College, and Bethel College and joined the Hochstein faculty in 1999 where she received the 2003-2004 Faculty Service Award.
