After several lengthy tours of the Americas and Asia as a
concert violinist, Elisabeth Waldo has made her permanent home at romantic,
historic Rancho Cordillera del Norte in Northridge, California. Wooded,
natural, and pastoral, it is the ideal setting in which to create meditative
music.
Ms. Waldo divides her
time between composing, recording, consulting, lecturing, and performing her
unique repertoire. Additionally, she is creative director of the non-profit
MultiCultural Music and Art Foundation of
Northridge (MCMAFN). For additional biographical information on

"Elisabeth Waldo and her
World of Mystic Music Ensemble
Land of Golden Dreams
"
Crossing borders, invoking impressionism, encouraged improvisation, embraced traditions and "primitivismo". Fusion of these elements all contribute to a new Genre for California musical styles.
"From my pastoral setting at historic Rancho Cordillera del Norte, at last I have completed a 60 minute work that has given me the opportunity to express my passion for the Mythic, Historic and Cultural Roots of this Golden Land. From the beginning, I turned to the story of legendary Queen Califia who in 1521 beckoned the Old World to explore the New. I have often crossed borders, invoked impressionism, encouraged improvisation, embraced traditions and "primitivismo". Fusion of these elements all contribute to a new Genre for California musical styles. I am dedicating my "Land of Golden Dreams" C.D. and all performances of this material to my late husband, Dr. Carl S. Dentzel, an unending resource for historic detail and encouragement during my process of interpreting California as the World.

"Sacred
Rites"
With authentic
pre-Columbian instruments
 "Searching for that fresh sound is always the task at
hand for the creator. Elisabeth Waldo (a brilliant violinist in her own class)
has created not only a convincing reconstruction of what the sounds and
textures might have been of the early Aztecs, but she has added her own special
orchestration techniques and compositional textures. Each selection brings us
more and more into the rainforests of our minds, perhaps even bringing us back
to past experience and unlocking those stored memories which are lurking way
back in the confines of our karmic journeys." —Anthony Scafide,
