Mackenzie Powell - Violin
A Twin Cities’ native, Mackenzie discovered her love for violin at 5 years old. She has found joy in sharing her passion for music at every opportunity and strives to bring excitement and energy to each performance. From church orchestra and worship team, to symphony and pit orchestra, and now joining Opus & Frame she delights in creating music with others. Her day job is corporate finance, and she relishes the outlet violin provides. In her extra time, she enjoys traveling with her husband, speed puzzling contests, and a chatty book club.
Meagan Palmer - Viola
Meagan’s musical journey kicked off at age 10, and since then, she’s dabbled in everything from symphony orchestras to worship teams and small ensembles. Her real joy? Creating those magical moments where music truly resonates with listeners. With a degree in entrepreneurship, she's found her stride in marketing and operations, bringing creativity into every project. When she's not working or performing, you’ll find her scaling indoor climbing walls, lost in a good book, or off exploring new places with her husband.
