        Tucson residents Elena Galbraith, Sandy Schwoebel and Marie Sierra formed Nota Bene in 2009 and have been performing unique and varied programs of chamber music  ever since.  Soloists in their own right, these three friends and colleagues  have collected a wide variety of music for soprano, flute and piano in various combinations from the Baroque, Classical and French Romantic eras, which they love sharing.  However, they take  special  pleasure in introducing often-overlooked 20th Century music at concerts, much to  the audience members’ enjoyment and surprise! 

         Known for their rapport with  audiences and a wide range of musical programming, their concerts include brief  chats about the music as well as the composers and their lives and times.  Surprises are always in store, and
Elena, Sandy and Marie have also been known  to throw on boas for one piece
and play percussion on the next!

        In 2008 William Bradley Roberts wrote the song cycle Wit  and Wisdom for Nota Bene, based on the writings of
Dorothy Parker.  The trio recorded this charming and witty group of songs on their 2011 debut CD,  called simply Nota Bene. You may purchase Nota Bene at Amazon.com by clicking the button below.  Their second CD, Delizioso, will be officially released on November 23 and Nota Bene is celebrating its release by touring throughout southwest Arizona performing concerts in Tucson, Green Valley, Mesa and Phoenix.  You may purchase Delizioso! on Amazon.com by clicking on the link below.


        Nota Bene has performed on concert series with St. Philip’s Friends of  Music  and Christ Church United Methodist in Tucson, Lutheran Church of the Risen  Savior in Green Valley, First Presbyterian Church in Mesa, Trinity Cathedral in Phoenix, Bisbee’s For the Love of Music series, Rincon United Church of Christ Friends of Music series, and Santa Cruz County Foundation for the Performing Arts music  series.  Upcoming concerts include a return to Trinity Cathedral and the SCFPA  series, as well as concerts at King of Glory Lutheran Church in Tempe and Oro  Valley United Church of Christ in Oro Valley, Arizona.
