Elaine Kreston, cello

Cellist Elaine Kreston has performed throughout the USA and Europe, including Carnegie's Recital Hall, as soloist on Broadway, with pop and rock stars, and has been featured in broadcasts on NPR and KPFA.

Her talents are diverse: a founding member of the classical Maybeck Trio, she also performs in RumiCello, a collaboration that beautifully mingles the poetry of Rumi with the sounds of the cello. Blending her background of classical music with improvisation, she has performed as soloist at the events of Krishna Das, Adyashanti, and Eckhart Tolle.

As a recording artist, Elaine adds her mellow tones to the albums of singer-songwriters, movie scores, and has released a CD with TranslucenT. Elaine's background includes receiving a bachelor's degree from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and a Master’s Degree from UT-Austin. With a spirited desire to share the wonders of music with future generations, she currently leads a teaching studio in the Bay Area and frequently visits schools, public and private, to perform, teach, and inspire.
