Eliza Siracusan received her bachelors degree in performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music in 2005. Her primary teachers were Richard Hawkins, Linnea Nereim, and Franklin Cohen. She performs with the Seattle Collaborative Orchestra and as principal clarinet with Octava Chamber Orchestra and also performs with Harmonia Orchestra, PNW Opera, Cascade Symphony Orchestra, and Saratoga Orchestra of Whidbey Island.
Eliza plays as much chamber music as she possibly can and especially enjoys collaborating with strings and piano. This summer will mark the fourth year of her annual August chamber concerts with fellow CIM grads. Eliza is a frequent performer with friends in the home of
pianist Al Berg in north Seattle. With the new ensemble Trio Anime, composed of pianist Charles Enlow and violist Leslie Johnson, she presented 5 concerts in 2024 and new concerts are planned for the spring of 2025.
Eliza teaches private lessons in Snohomish and coaches at Interlake HS in Bellevue. She loves teaching and supporting the growth and engagement of the whole student, not just as a clarinet player but also as an authentic human and she especially loves working with adult students who are coming back to music after a lifetime away. Eliza is an intuitive, thoughtful communicator who loves productive and meaningful conversations with her students and peers.
