Over the past 25 years, Krista Buckland Reisner has performed with well-known and diverse musicians from Leonard Bernstein to John Williams, Placido Domingo to Brian Wilson, Anton Kuerti to Smokey Robinson, and Diana Krall.
“Things done right..”(Boston Globe), “…Excellent left hand..”(Toronto Star), and “…lovely tonal bloom…”(LeDROIT), describe performances of violinist Krista Buckland Reisner.
Krista has performed across North America, Europe, Russia, and New Zealand, including performances at Carnegie Hall, La Scala, and the Boston Esplanade on July 4th with the Boston Pops.
Passionate about opera, Krista served as Principal Second Violin of the Canadian Opera Company Orchestra, Concertmaster of Opera Boston, performed Wagner’s “Ring Cycle” with the Arizona Opera, and played in the Santa Fe Opera Orchestra.
An early music aficionado, Krista performed with Canada’s Aradia, Boston Baroque, and is currently a tenured member of the Handel and Haydn Society. She is also on the roster of the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra.
Krista’s love of chamber music led her to join The Worcester Chamber Music Society 14 years ago, after playing in the QX string quartet for many years prior with fellow WCMSers Peter Sulski and Rohan Gregory. Her commitment to bringing this art form to the Worcester community also included taking on administrative roles within WCMS as the organization grew. These included acting as General Manager and managing the Summer Festival and Music Camp for six years.
In addition to maintaining her active chamber music and orchestra life, Krista’s musical interests include exploring other musical styles and instruments, including jazz improv, Swedish nykleharpa, and piano.
At this concert, Krista will perform in the world premieres of “Sarai” and and “Min Hameitzar” (From Out of a Narrow Place), both by Robbie Solomon; and “The Narrow Bridge” by Daniel Gil.
