Here on this blog I will share thoughts about the life of a musician and the creative process of making new sounds.  Coming from a classical music background, I deeply appreciate the traditions which have been passed on to me, but I am most excited by the possibilities of music being created right now.  Cross-pollination between different genres is producing new hybrids all the time, and anything is possible.

I divide my musical time between performing as a violinist, composing music, and teaching a few students at Mills College.  Now living in San Francisco, I play contemporary chamber music and am involved in creative collaborations, like making music for dance with my husband, Greg Habiby.  I also create wearable art and make photo books, which you can read about here: www.gloriajustenstudio.com.
