The classically trained musician began playing the cello at 10 and  continues to play classical music as a member of Northwest Sinfonietta, a chamber orchestra.

She performs with her electric cello, and loops her cello sounds to spin amazing music.

Her newest release is “Waves Wash Over Us,” an eight-composition CD. Yanover’s many other recording credits include performances with Northwest Sinfonietta, and on songs for Skerik’s Syncopated Taint Septet, Tift Merritt, Thaddillac, The Stares and Built to Spill.

Admission is play or pay $7; children get in free. Coffee, tea, bottled water and cookies will be for sale.
