About Wendy

Growing up in a musical family in Wetaskiwin, Alberta brought piano lessons from age 6 to15 and a clarinet chair in the Junior & Senior High School bands. My father, Harry Lomnes, as the band director for all public schools in the city, was a huge driver for band education in Alberta schools and certainly passed on the joy of participating in music to me. His influence and my mother’s radio stations as a child, introduced me to “The Great American Songbook” – that wonderful lexicon of popular music from the 20’s to 50’s, that forms the basis of my performance life today.
