Berkeley Symphony: Connections at The Freight

Stacey Pelinka, Berkeley Symphony’s second flutist, presents Connections, which builds upon the community of composers, living and not. Through this program, you’ll meet familiar faces and meet some new ones, all of whom will make you feel like you’re reuniting with long-lost friends. Stacey’s contemporary chamber music expertise shines in Connections, as she has been a key artistic member of ensembles such as the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble and as a founding member of Eco Ensemble.

Stacey Pelinka enjoys performing a broad spectrum of classical music, especially contemporary chamber music. She is a longtime member of the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble, and a founding member of the Eco Ensemble, resident at UC Berkeley and CNMAT. Stacey plays principal flute with San Francisco Opera’s Merola Program productions, and is a member of the Berkeley Symphony, the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra, the Santa Rosa Symphony, and the Midsummer Mozart Festival. As a freelancer, she has performed with the San Francisco Symphony and Opera as well as other Bay Area ensembles. A certified Feldenkrais Method® practitioner, Stacey has taught Feldenkrais classes for the musicians of the San Francisco Symphony, and her flute teaching has a strong somatic focus. She teaches flute at UC Berkeley, UC Davis, and Mills College, and baroque flute at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Born and raised in the Bay Area, Stacey attended Cornell University and the San Francisco Conservatory, where she studied with Timothy Day.
