About Me
PAMELA WENG began playing piano at the age of four. The language of music which she refers to as her “true native tongue,” has always played an integral part of her life. She was very involved thru-out her K-12 days and the next logical step was to continue this path into college and then graduate school. She matriculated from Metropolitan State College in 1984 with a degree in Music Education; Masters of Humanities with emphasis on Music Technology and Art History from the University of Colorado at Denver in 1997.
Pamela is now an instructor at the University of Colorado at Denver where she teaches music history and literature, social and political implications of American music, music appreciation, piano classes and applied lessons.
In creating her Masters thesis, Pamela combined her love for art with her love for music, recording and producing a CD of “sound paintings” entitled Earthtones that also employed the talents of acclaimed Colorado musicians Drew Morell, Ted Reece, Calvin Standing Bear, Larry Thompson, and Harvey Thurman.
In April of 2008 Pamela released EarthTones II, which is a continuation of the “sound paintings” traveling to the Australian Outback – “Outback Ochre” with Michael Stanwood on digereedoo, to Argentina – “Tangorine”with Daria Joanna on cello and Portugal – “Portuguese Passion” with Manual Arujo on trumpet.
After joining forces with Colorado poets Dr. Bob Boyle and Dee Galloway to form the Lost in the Woods record label, they produced two albums: Spirit Rising and Solace: A Journey on the Path of Grief.
In 2009 they appeared as a performance troupe called the Bare Naked Spirits www.barenakedspirits.com
