 THE M'EARTHTONES
Since 2004, Ellen has sung alto with the 16 member acapella group the M'Earthtones. The M’Earthtones, whose mission statement is “Creating Harmony in a Dissonant World,” encourages their audiences to “think globally, act vocally.” Their repertoire includes 4 – 7 part vocal arrangements of songs ranging from contemporary to ancient songs from countries such as France, Italy, Israel, England, Africa and the United States. The ensemble is comprised of eight men and eight women who travel from different parts of the Bay area— San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Palo Alto Menlo Park, and 3 members from Half Moon Bay — to meet weekly to rehearse in San Mateo. They have been delighting area audiences for the past 6 years at venues such as The Little Fox in Redwood City, The San Francisco Free Folk Festival, The Cayuga Vault in Santa Cruz and at numerous house concerts throughout the Peninsula.

 THE GRYPHON CAROLERS
Since 1987 Ellen has sung tenor with the Gryphon Carolers. The Gryphon Carolers is a unique vocal ensemble who in recent years has performed to sold-out crowds at venues such as Villa Montalvo and Stanford's Dinkelspiel Theater. In the early years, they serenaded passers-by on the streets of Palo Alto.
Today, the Gryphon Carolers is a formal ensemble consisting of 40+ voices. The group draws from a 200-page repertoire of songs, many of which were arranged and some written by individual members of the talented ensemble. The Carolers adhere to a rigorous rehearsal schedule, with rehearsals beginning in September and taking place weekly until the December Holiday Concert. Buy tickets!
Their recent CD, "One December Night" is available for listening and purchase.
