Ruth Helgeson |
Ruth majored in music in the 1970's on the French horn at the University of Minnesota. Longing for a more "intimate" musical experience, she taught herself to play the recorder and performed for seven years with Concentus Musicus of the Twin Cities, directed by Arthur Maud and more recently with Eglantine Consort (of the Twin Cities). Always drawn to unique sounds, Ruth performed Central Javanese gamelan music with the Indonesian Performing Arts Association of Minnesota for ten years and was featured at a special Halloween performance in 2004, playing her theremin for Minnesota Public Radio's Morning Show.
