Lisamarie McGrath
Lisamarie McGrath is a resident of Upper Darby, where she works as a professional flutist and music teacher. Her distinguished career has included solo, chamber, ethnic and orchestral performances in such diverse places as Great Britain, Colorado, Wyoming and the Mid-Atlantic area.   A native of Colorado, Lisamarie journeyed to the East Coast in 1985 to study flute with the renowned principal flutist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, Murray Panitz.  In 1989 she graduated (cum laude) from Temple University and engaged in private study with David Cramer (Philadelphia Orchestra) and Mark Sparks (Baltimore Symphony). Lisamarie’s honors include winning the National Flute Association’s Orchestral Audition Masterclass Competition, the 1991 Pottstown Symphony Young Artists Concerto Competition, and the Fort Collins Young Artist Concerto Competition.
