A passionate aficionado of the classical music world, Ms. Bernstein has lived, performed and taught in New York, London, Paris, and Vienna. Here in the Bay Area, she gave a benefit recital with John Boyajy at the Berkeley City Club, and regularly enjoys singing with him at the Victorian Englander House and other charm-filled venues, especially private homes. Maxine studied voice internationally, most notably with Christa Ludwig. She now devotes herself to professional and aspiring singers, offering voice lessons and coaching in her San Francisco studio.
"Hearing Maxine Bernstein sing Schumann's Frauenliebe und Leben - simply
one of the great musical and human experiences of my life."
