Du Anne Hamby attended the New School of Music in Philadelphia (now Temple University’s Boyer College of Music) and received her degrees in music and theology from Philadelphia Biblical University. A former member of the San Antonio Symphony, she is now in her ninth year as strings instructor at Cambridge and Woodridge. She has performed in professional string ensembles for over twenty years and is manager of StringMusic.net, which regularly performs for audiences ranging from small private parties to large public gatherings. The largest setting was for Luciano Pavarotti during his final American tour; the smallest was for a marriage proposal with only the couple and a string duo present. (Yes the girl accepted!) Du Anne is married to Robert Hamby and has three children.
A native San Antonian and a graduate of MacArthur High School, Cora Harnish received a BM in cello performance from UNC and a Master's degree in Historical performance from India University. She performs internationally throughout the US performing with such groups as the Transiberian Orchestra and appearing as soloist with the San Antonio Symphony, Dallas Bach Society and the Alabama Symphony among others. Ms. Harnish has been teaching elementary strings at Alamo Heights since 1997. She is a member of Texas Music Educators and the American String Teachers Associations. She also maintains an active cello studio and is a professional dog trainer.
