Cindy Beitmen, Director
Cindy Beitmen began her career singing opera in the Washington, D.C. area. After six years of teaching, singing, and conducting
in Vienna, Austria, she moved to Seattle where she began specializing in early music as a student of Margriet Tindemans.
Cindy received her Master of Music degree in vocal performance from the University of Washington, during which time she performed
as soloist with the Seattle Chamber Singers, Broadway Symphony, Vancouver Early Music Festival, and the Early Music Society
of the Islands in Victoria, B.C. Performance opportunities led her to New York City where she sang with Pomerium, the Virgin Consort,
Symphony for the United Nations, Ensemble Fortuna based in Boston, and the British ensemble Circa 1500. As a member of the
New York Ensemble for Early Music, she toured throughout the U.S. in the medieval liturgical drama Herod and the Innocents and performed
the Resurrection Play of Tours at the New York Cloisters. She taught voice and vocal diction at Northern Arizona University and currently
directs the early music vocal ensembles at Mills College, is the music director at St. Albert Priory in Oakland, and is founder and director
of the Women’s Antique Vocal Ensemble which specializes in music of the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods.
