Donna Jean Liss, Administrative Coordinator
Donna Jean began her relationship with Camerata Pacifica as a
volunteer in the 18th season. After going on the Messenger
tour in 2008, she could not pass up the opportunity to work with
such a brilliant group when given the opportunity!
She has quite a diverse career background, of which music foundations
had not yet been a part. Not a musician herself, she greatly appreciates
music of all genres (well, haven't caught on to rap yet) and this
is a wonderful educational experience for her.
