Name: Carol McGonnell
Nickname: My mom calls me Carollypolly.
Instrument: Clarinet
Friday night libation: It's Friday and I'm drinking dandelion tea. Boring...

Favorite piece that's being performed at PCMF 2016 and why:
Brahms Clarinet Quintet. I am of Roma descent and this piece is so gypsy, especially the slow movement.

What are you looking forward most about spending a week in the Bay Area?
Sourdough croissants at Arizmendi.

What's the craziest or most memorable thing that's happened to you during a performance?
Falling in love :-) But I guess it's best when that always happens on stage, in some shape or form.
