Cheyenne McCoy

Her primary interest is in reconstructing history. Studying historically-informed performance practice, she plays viola da gamba and baroque cello for the Oklahoma Baroque Orchestra. She also makes 16th century garments using historical sewing techniques.

In addition, Cheyenne plays electric bass and tours with local bands stepmom, Speak Memory, and The Blackstar Experience. Her experimental solo project Abbess incorporates gamba, electronics, and medieval vocal works. 

One of her greatest joys is collaborating with other artists, and has collaborated on installation work at Positive Space Tulsa and Factory Obscura in OKC. 

As an educator, she teaches orchestral strings and rock band at El Sistema Oklahoma, a free music program for public school students in grades 3 through 12.
