Pamela Freund-Striplen served as Artistic Director and violist of the Gold Coast Chamber Players based in the San Francisco Bay Area for 35 years. As such, she developed over 150 unique concert programs and three educational outreach programs. At the final Gold Coast Chamber Players performance, the local mayor proclaimed that day as Pamela Freund-Striplen Day for her community contributions. Motivated by the social impact of her special projects like Cultural Crossroads: Dvořák in America, Pamela is now focusing on taking these programs to national and international audiences.

She has performed with members of the St. Lawrence, Alexander, Escher and Verona String Quartets and the Amati Ensemble.
