Upon taking up the piano at 5 years old, music has been an integral part of Michelle's life. In addition to singing with various choirs throughout her school-aged years, she had the opportunity to perform with the women's choir while attending University of Northern Colorado as a vocal performance major. She has since continued her musical career, singing with everything from a national country performer to 5 years with a Celtic rock band and impressing crowds with her renditions of Janis Joplin.

Michelle is very honored for the opportunity to be a part of such a charming and talented group of ladies!

And we're excited to have her in the group! Between her piano playing and dulcet low notes, she is a new and treasured prize.

Leah's musical education started with folk songs on road trips with her family. The humble begining was the right spark to inflame the love that would become her life's passion. Starting with "The Sunshine Kids" in kindergarten and continuing with various other choirs all through Elementary and Middle school she began a journey that is continuing today with MMM.

In High school she spent two years in private voice lessons and today she is performing with the Metropolitan State College of Denver's Women's Choir. She has recently began a Major in Music with an emphasis in Vocal Performance through MSCD and is using each grain of musical knowledge gained there to better her sound with the MMM. With whom she has been performing with since 2006.

To Leah, life's every hour is a potential real-life musical and day by day she works hard to make them that way!

Emily Atherton:

Emily is soon-to-graduate from the Colorado State University in Fort Collins with an Anthropology Major and a French minor.

In addition to her intellectual pursuits, she has been singing since before she can remember. Accomplished in her youth as a member of the Colorado Springs Children's Chorale, Colorado All State Choir, and the National Youth Chorus, her most recent vocal achievements include singing for the 2005 International Sacred Music Festival in South Korea with the Colrado State University Chamber Singers, and of course, her membership in the Merrye Madrygal Mavyns of the Colorado Renaissance Festivale, the fynest group of ladies she has ever had the honor with which to sing.

Don't let her size fool you, she makes the biggest sound and most technically sound of the group!

During her high school years she competed at multiple solo competitions and once earned a perfect score.Dana is now studying opera with a Metropolitan Opera regional finalist and plans to continue her musical and theatrical education at the University of Northern Colorado.

Monika Graf:

The first show Monika performed in was in her living room. It was somewhere between a pretend Starsearch audition and a child's Ballet class. She was six years old and determined to become the first singing ballerina. Of course, at the time she was quite tone deaf, but the dream was already there...

After fifteen years of various vocal and theatrical performance, she has performed in Greeley, Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Larkspur and other various venus around Colorado. She currently resides in Boulder, Colorado and has finished her Bachelors Degree of Music and Theater at Metro State College of Denver.

Friendly, easy to work with, and talented, Monika Graf is a performer who, using both classical and musical theater backgrounds, works hard to sing and perform on a professional level. She is also our fearless leader and is both webmaster and the unofficial voice coach of the group.

Anikka Weinfeld:
(former member)

Anikka has adored madrigals since she made her high school madrigal choir as a sophomore. When she was little she invented the game "Let's harmonize to everything!" and challenged herself to never sing melody along with the radio. This natural ear supported her onstage in musical theatre, and carried her through music theory and numerous choirs across the country and overseas.

Directing the madrigals at the Colorado Renaissance Festival was the perfect way for Anikka to fuel her desire for musical artistry.

Thanks Anikka for making this dream possible! Phi Beta Femme forever!! We look forward to you coming back in years to come...
