Rosalind grew up in the countryside outside Charlotte, N.C.  From there she went to Duke University for a B.A. degree in music.  While there, she sang in the Duke Chapel choir, Women’s Glee and the Chamber Singers.  She then went to New York City for a master’s in education from Union Theological Seminary.  While “away up north”, she sang with a choral society on Long Island and in the  choir at Christ Methodist Church on Park Avenue in NYC.

Later, back home again in N.C. and living in Greensboro, she worked as an editor and freelance writer.  In midlife she went back to school, at N.C. A&T for a B.S. degree in Landscape Architecture.  Afterwards, she started a landscape and garden design/build company and worked with that until retirement.  In retirement, she loves growing flowers, reading anything and everything, hanging out with her large extended family, and choral singing with Gate City Voices, Greensboro Choral Society, and the First Presbyterian Church Chancel Choir.

About Bel Canto and Gate City Voices Monday night rehearsals, she says, “Once I get there and settled in, I wish it would last until midnight!”
