Caroline Winschel started her musical career at the tender age of two, playing a tiny violin as a Suzuki student. In high school in Connecticut, she realized that singers––unlike instrumentalists––don’t have to carry anything; she made the switch and hasn’t looked back. As a double major in English and French literature at Smith College, Caroline spent as much time in the music building as in the library, singing in and serving on the boards of the Glee Club, Chamber Singers, and Groove a cappella. While studying at the Université de la Sorbonne-Paris IV, Caroline also sang with the Paris Choral Society and American Cathedral Choir. In Philadelphia, she sang with both the Mendelssohn Club and Voces Novae et Antiquae before co-founding Chestnut Street Singers, the city's first cooperative chamber choir, and Tower of Song, an annual summertime immersion in music for women's chamber choirs.

Caroline is an assistant editor at the University of Pennsylvania Press and has been enjoying the spare time that comes with having recently completed her master’s in English literature, also at Penn. She enjoys baking elaborate desserts, prowling antique fairs, masterminding surprises, and driving over the speed limit.
