Suzanne began her Gretna Music relationship in 1999-2000, left to be a stay at home mom, returned part-time in 2006, and became executive director in September 2012. She played flute (poorly) growing up and can’t carry a tune. But she is passionate about the arts and Mt. Gretna and building community in and around Gretna Music. She is on the boards of PA Presenters, Visit Lebanon Valley, and Mt. Gretna Arts Council. When not working, she reading, traveling and hanging out with her husband Dave.

Mika was hired full time in 2021 after working as a summer intern for three years. Her main responsibilities include box office management, grant writing, and overseeing Gretna Music for Kids and First Listen. She graduated from Elizabethtown College with a BA in Theatre and English. As an accomplished soprano with a decade of training, she can carry a tune. In her free time Mika enjoys reading, knitting fun hats, drinking delicious coffee, trying out new recipes, hanging out with friends and family, and spending time with her husband Bram and their cat Ozzy.

John has been programming classical music for radio audiences for 29 years, including at WITF, central Pennsylvania’s public radio station, and with Sirius XM’s Symphony Hall where he will continue as the morning host. Along with his radio career, John has co-founded a chamber music organization, served as executive director for a chamber ensemble, and has served on boards, as a consultant, and as a curator for other musical series. We are so excited to meet John and his bunny Khloe this summer!
