Lucinda Marvin teaches violin at MacPhail. Her love of chamber music began when she was in the 7th grade. Today, she shares her passion with her students, some of whom have gone on to join major orchestras both in the United States and abroad. Others have carried their love of music with them into such diverse venues as MIT and the Miss America contest (the contestant won!)
