The Rebecca Kleinmann Quintent at Missy Lane’s
Friday, May 3rd at 6:30pm and 9pm
Support our DAC teacher, Rebecca, and her group’s performance at local venue, Missy Lane’s!
Rebecca Kleinmann began synthesizing her diverse musical interests as a flutist and vocalist at Indiana University, where she began her studies as a Classical Flute (performance) major and historically graduated as the first Jazz Flute major in the history of the school’s Jazz Studies program, thanks to the support of her beloved mentor, the late David Baker.
She has performed worldwide from Brazil to Australia with her own projects and as a supporting musician. She performed major festivals in California including the San Jose Jazz Festival, SF Jazz, and the Healdsburg Jazz Festival. She has studied vocal performance with Fabiana Cozza and Jennifer Barnes.
Her varied experiences as a vocalist include performances with the Taylor Memorial Gospel Choir and teaching vocal performance to thousands of elementary school children as an Orff-certified music educator in public schools. Both in teaching and in performances with her various diverse ensembles, Rebecca often utilizes her fluencies in Portuguese and Spanish. More info and tickets here!
