A native of Chicago, Pauline studied piano at the Conservatory of the Chicago Musical College and Northwestern University. In 2004, she accompanied the Adams Vocal Master Classes. Pauline is well known locally as choral accompanist for I Cantori di Carmel and the Camerata Singers. In addition, she has long provided worship music and choir direction for Congregation Beth Israel in Carmel Valley.

On a personal note, in love with Bach since childhood, Pauline feels blessed to serve as rehearsal pianist for the Carmel Bach Festival Chorus and this year, for the Youth Chorus as well.
