Gina Samardge has been performing and teaching music in NYC since her arrival in 2002. An Ohio native, she grew up in the local theaters, singing and dancing in numerous productions. After college and a short stint in Cleveland, OH, she spent nearly a year traveling around the world to such places as Germany, Japan, Thailand, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

Upon her return to the States, she began working in schools and before long was teaching music in a rural school in Central Ohio. It wasn't long before she felt the need to finally venture out East to the city that stole her heart when she was 16.

Since Gina has moved to New York she has performed with VOICETheatre, The Soon-To-Be-World-Famous Female Clown Troupe, Main Squeeze Orchestra and numerous other short films and theatrical productions.

Gina currently teaches for the Brooklyn Queens Conservatory of Music and directs the Children's Chorus there. She also leads her own sing-a-longs at various locations in Brooklyn and has started her own toddler music and movement classes, Musical Stew.

Most recently, Gina has been performing with The Maestrosities, a clown band who just returned from the KIMTOM International Clown festival in Shanghai, China.
