The incredibly busy Ginger Murphy started her music journey early - studying both piano and cello before she was ten!  A course of study in Cello performance at Northwestern University paved the way for absolutely golden opportunities.  Ginger found herself touring and performing with presitgious ensembles and string quartets, culminating in the All American College Orchestra at Walt Disney World in Orlando.  She was offered a position in the Disney Big Band - and that infused this eager musician with a love for all genres and styles of music.  THAT inspired her to make a move to Los Angeles to pursue life as a studio musician.  Because that became so wise a decision, Ginger gave a lot of thought as to how this positive path happened. And she gives her parents full credit for exposing her to Chicago public schools - which offered orchestral music programs when she was attending.  She has given back so much to other students as a result.  Even maintaining a studio in Los Angeles to mentor young artists on THEIR way :)

Ginger can be heard on so many musical projects that it's hard to list them ALL - we're talking over 200!  Some of those with whom she has shared "space" include household names.  Here's one of those names: she just finished the latest season of "The Voice."  That's why she can do 12/22 on "Hybrid Jazz!"  The places she has seen, the roads she has traveled, the contracts that she has put together for live events (for Peter Gabriel, Josh Groban, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra!) - it's all staggering.  But almost nothing can compare to the satisfaction that she feels when she works with her multi-talented husband, Stevo Theard.  Stevo and Ginger have created the Sun Soul Orchestra - and you'll hear tracks from this superior work when Ginger visits - on our "Christmas Show."  :)
