Reinecke's entry into the world of music came after she attended a piano concert with her mother. She immediately set aside the notion of becoming a nun. When she was seven she was awarded a full scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory Preparatory School.
After graduating from the Peabody Conservatory in 1940 Virginia Reinecke taught at the Peabody for nine years. She performed as piano soloist with area orchestras and later performed extensively in the U.S., England, Germany, Poland, Russia and China.
Reinecke taught piano and organ at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., directed the Trinity Preparatory School and Loyola College glee clubs and was director of the Children's Experimental Theatre in Baltimore. In 1971 she co-founded the "Music in the Great Hall" Concert Series, (which is now the "Chamber Music Society of Maryland) and served as its artistic director for thirty years. [ To Return Tap HERE ]
