Members of Arietta Trio

Teresa Deckard (flute, whistles)

Besides serving as a chaplain with Good News Jail & Prison Ministry, Teresa Deckard is a 15-year veteran of wild bird rehabilitation. She is director of Bird Refuge of York County, an all-volunteer organization dedicated to the care and release of injured and orphaned wild birds. With her lifelong passion for birds (she has pet birds as well), is it any wonder that she was drawn to the birdlike voicing of the flute family? As a freelance musician she has appeared in collaboration with ensembles and recording projects ranging from classical, sacred/contemporary gospel, Celtic/folk, jazz/pop and musical theater productions. Teresa enjoys her musical endeavors with Arietta and as a private flute instructor at Mockingbird Studio. She resides in York County with her family and the rest of the flock. Psalm 150
