Andrea Gray Perry regrets that she is not originally from New Mexico, but is delighted to make her home in Albuquerque with her wife who grew up in Algodones, NM. She grew up playing guitars and singing in the backyards and coffeeshops of Austin, Texas but was first bitten by the polyphony bug during her sophomore year at St. John's College in Santa Fe which led her to make the life-altering choice to write her undergraduate thesis on Bach's Matthauspassion. She was a co-founding member, vocalist, and managing director of Austin Baroque Orchestra and had the privilege of performing with Texas Early Music Project and serving as a section leader for St. David's Episcopal Church's parish choir. It is her ever greater privilege to return to music-making with PVNM and the Cathedral Choir of St. John's ABQ after a long hiatus during which she devoted her time and energy to her 'day jobs': first, working as a program manager at a rape crisis center and later completing training as a nurse practitioner. When not singing, tending her garden, or spending time with family, she maintains a clinical practice in an outpatient clinic serving patients across New Mexico and serves as volunteer adjunct faculty at UNM College of Nursing.
