Patricia Fasel (violin) has been involved in choral music in the area for many years and currently sings with the Sangre de Cristo Chorale and the Santa Fe Symphony Chorus. In recent years, her love of baroque music led to taking up the baroque violin so that she is able to enjoy all aspects of the music.

Hope B. DuBois (viola) has lived in New Mexico since 1979 and in Santa Fe for the last 26 years. She grew up with a love of classical music thanks to the influence of her mother, who played and taught piano. Hope learned to play piano and then violin (both by ear) in her early years and continued with violin through her first year of college. After an 18-year hiatus, she returned to the instrument, but soon became lured by the beautiful rich sound of the viola. Having always loved Baroque music and recalling a brief stint in college playing the rebec in an early music class, she eagerly joined the Turquoise Trail Baroque. Hope also regularly plays modern viola with an informal quartet. She is a Special Education Teacher by training who is currently working as an independent Certified Academic Language Practitioner with children and teens.

Sarah Manthey (viola da gamba), a viola da gambist from Albuquerque, was in Spain studying guitar when she stumbled into a viol concert and the course of her life was altered forever. Initially self-taught, she attended master classes with Savall and W Kuijken, and eventually moved to Switzerland and then to Germany, where she earned a degree from the Hochschule fuer Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Hamburg. In Europe and more recently in New Mexico, she has had the opportunity to play with many others who share her passion for early music and historical performance practice, including Odhecaton in Madrid; Musica Viva Moelln; Musica Poetica; Turquoise Trail Baroque in Santa Fe; and the Early Byrd Consort of Viols in Albuquerque.
