Anna Epstein-Kravis
began studying classical piano at 8 years of age. At 15 she
began learning folk banjo and by age 16, was writing and performing
songs at folk music gatherings and festivals, as well as teaching
banjo. Interest in theater and cabaret brought her to NYC, where
she performed in clubs, acted in off-Broadway theater productions
and taught banjo at the New School for Social Research and the
92nd Street Y. Anna joined with friend, Janice Buckner, to form
the acclaimed musical duo Sweet Rose Revue. Throughout the 80's,
they performed thousands of concerts internationally, and released
a highly praised recording of original songs. The duo has reunited
for adult concert offerings, after a 12-year hiatus.
Anna performs
year round for children and family audiences throughout the
Northeast at museums, libraries, park, arts centers, early childhood
centers, schools, and festivals. She offers early childhood
teacher training music workshops nationally for educational
organizations, such as NAEYC. Credits include the Brooklyn Children's
Museum, the Queen Elizabeth 2 Ocean Liner, the Hudson River
Museum, appearances on Sing Me a Story TV show and much more.
Anna has just completed recording a CD of original songs for
adults, entitled The Dream Collection, due to be released in
early 2003. She is soloist, as well as musician, along with
her husband, guitarist and mandolin player Miles Kravis, at
weekly Sunday church services at a church in Melville, NY.
