Barbara joined DFNHB in 1999 soon after she started to learn the oboe, and only a year later she added the English Horn to her skills. Her first instrument was the violin when she was 10, and three years later she took piano lessons. In her final years of high school she played the viola in the school orchestra. She and Kal love to travel.
