In the alternate universes of her mind she is alternately a Jedi Knight (her hero is Yoda!) and a hobbit!

JONATHAN CLARK (viola) began studying violin with Anna Tringas at the age of five and, by age thirteen, was one of the youngest violinists to ever join the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra. A graduate of The University of West Florida, he is a versatile performer on violin, viola and bass with a variety of ensembles including Pensacola Little Theatre, Pensacola Children's Chorus, the contemporary Christian group "Journeysong" and his family's band "Clark & Company." Jon teaches strings at seven elementary schools and also has a private studio.
