Gretchen Yanover Bio:Cellist Gretchen Yanover wears two musical hats: one as a composer of spacious string atmospheres, which she performs on electric cello with looping pedal, and one as a classical acoustic cellist.Yanover began her musical life in Seattle public schools, falling in love with the cello’s deep sound. She pursued both performance and music education at University of Washington, embracing an interwoven path of teaching and performing. Yanover guided students in music for 17 years, while growing her own solo performing career.She started playing with a loop sampler around 2001 and it changed her musical life, inspiring her to improvise and compose. Yanover performs throughout the Pacific Northwest as a soloist on her electric cello, while continuing her classical music life. She has played with Northwest Sinfonietta orchestra since 1998 and is a member of NW Sinfonietta’s DEI task force, working to make meaningful changes in the classical music culture, along with creating connections in the community. NW Sinfonietta has featured Yanover as a soloist on her electric cello on several occasions.Yanover has been a Visiting Artist at Icicle Creek Center for the Arts, appeared as a soloist for the Earshot Jazz Festival, and presented at TEDx Seattle. She created music for and performed with LeVar Burton for LeVar Burton Reads live, and has had compositions commissioned by Seattle Symphony, Seattle Pacific University, and University of Oregon.
