Originally from Chicago, Donna Malus is now retired and happily living in a small cabin on 11 acres in S.E. Ohio. Her love for folk, traditional and classical music began in her elementary school years and continued through her adult life; she has dabbled in playing a variety of musical instruments since then as well. In spring of 2009 Donna discovered the bowed psaltery and has been playing it ever since. In fall of 2009, motivated by her desire to promote the bowed psaltery, Donna created “Psaltery Strings” a website dedicated to the bowed psaltery and continues to host the site to date. In 2012 Donna published a book of traditional music for bowed psaltery and other melody instruments. Donna taught beginning bowed psaltery classes for several years at the annual Gebhard Woods Dulcimer and Traditional Music Festival in Morris, Illinois. Donna’s passions beyond music are graphic art, computer technology, audio/video technology, fiber arts, beekeeping and animals of every kind!
