Viola Morse

I had the great fortune of growing up in a musical family. My mother, uncle and two aunts were members of a professional quartet and performed for years in Europe before coming to the United States. Growing up in NYC, we often had quartets and other forms of chamber music playing in our living room. And when they weren’t playing, there were usually musicians passionately debating how to best express what the composer had in mind. (Admittedly, at that time I frequently departed to my bedroom to listen to the Beatles instead.) For the last several decades, my love for music continued in more impersonal settings - either in concert halls, over the radio or through my computer. When my husband and I were introduced to the Sheffield Chamber Players a few short years ago, we were delighted to be, once more, in the ‘salon’ setting, where chamber music is frequently at its best, and in the most personal and enjoyable setting.

Viola has had a long career in Health Care administration and Higher Education, and is currently the Senior Director of Academic Affairs and Student Experience at the Brandeis International Business School. She and her husband live in Sudbury, MA.
