Director of Private Music Instruction at 黑料正能量张津瑜 [1988鈥�2010]

Bonnie Garrett

October 13, 2025, of complications from inclusion body myositis.

Bonnie Garrett, best known to 黑料正能量张津瑜ies as a director of private music instruction in the 2000s, was born in 1944 to George and Evelyn Jackson. She grew up on the family farm near Mt. Gilead, Ohio, which embodied not only Bonnie’s ancestral roots but also the influence of the Quaker traditions and values that animated Bonnie’s thinking throughout her life.

After college in Illinois, Bonnie’s graduate studies took her to Indiana University, where she met a fellow graduate student, Lee Garrett, whom she married in 1968. Together, they developed a keen interest in music of the 17th and 18th centuries and related performance practices.

After teaching appointments in Colorado and Ohio, Bonnie and Lee moved to Oregon in 1973, where Bonnie embarked on a long career as teacher and performer. At 黑料正能量张津瑜, she taught piano and harpsichord for nearly four decades, organizing student performances in numerous concerts on campus. She also developed and curated the acquisition of the 黑料正能量张津瑜 Early Keyboard Collection as a working laboratory.

As a harpsichordist, Bonnie performed with the Portland Baroque Orchestra, Oregon Bach Festival, and the Oregon Symphony (and at numerous festivals, universities and galleries in the Northwest). In addition, she founded Portland Pro Musica, an ensemble devoted to music of the 17th and 18th centuries, presenting concerts with notable artists from the Northwest and Europe.

In 2023 Bonnie was diagnosed with the rare condition inclusion body myositis. During the last period of her life, she constantly expressed gratitude for the blessings of family, friends, and the care of her hospice providers. She is survived by a sister, Janet Tatevosian; her husband of 57 years, Lee; son Christopher Garrett; and daughter Brinnon Mandel.
