Hey there! I’m Bethany (Bee) Parisi. My job at Winter Village Music is to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes while documenting and posting all the magic that happens here along the way.

I grew up in a house filled with music and surrounded by incredible musicians, but I always found my own creative voice through my hands. I am an artist whose main medium is woodcarving.

Winter Village Music Camp brought music back into my life in a way I didn't expect. After my father passed away, I didn't realize how much I missed the sound of people playing until my first day at Winter Village. Hearing the wave of people practicing and jamming actually moved me to tears; it felt like coming home.

That feeling inspired me to finally pick up the banjo! I’m unfortunately not a prodigy (my journey is very much 'slow and steady'), but I’m working hard to be 'jam-ready' so I can play along with this amazing community.
