Passionate about honoring and understanding the traditions of all kinds of music, Adrienne Hyde graduated from the Eastman School of Music in May 2020 with a Bachelor’s degree in Cello Performance, studying with Alan Harris.
Adrienne also studied baroque cello, viola da gamba and continuo with Christel Thielmann and Paul O’Dette for all four years of her degree at Eastman. She earned the school's first-awarded Performance Practice Certificate for dedicated study and research in the field of early music. During her time at Eastman, Adrienne was also selected as an inductee into the Pi Kappa Lambda National Music Honor Society for her excellence in academics and music performance. She performs frequently on several instruments, including the modern cello, the baroque cello, a 5-string baroque piccolo cello, bass and treble viola da gamba, and the organ!
