L.A. Camerata is directed by Marylin Winkle. In addition to L.A. Camerata, Marylin has performed Early Music (on baroque cello, viola da gamba, vielle, and voice) with the Desert Baroque Festival, Boston Camerata, Musica Transalpina, and Musica Angelica. She serves as the Early Music Ensemble Director in the Musicology Department at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. Her musicological scholarship centers on works by early modern women, and she has presented her research at conferences worldwide. She holds a DMA in Early Music from USC Thornton School of Music, where she studied baroque cello and viola da gamba with Bill Skeen. Outside of Early Music, Dr. Winkle teaches cello at CalState LA and general music  at Citizens of the World Elementary (Hollywood). She is on a mission not only to tell women’s stories, but to make storytelling spaces engaging and accessible to all audiences, including the youngest among us.
