Snyder is an enthusiast of all things cultural in the Windy City. She is a core member\u00a0and social media coordinator of the\u00a0Chicago-based Zafa Collective, a contemporary classical music ensemble founded with the idea of inclusivity (both in programming and performance) at its core. Audrey has worked in pit orchestras at venues including the Cadillac Palace, Nederlander, CIBC, and Mariott Theatres, and more recently has performed with The Who on their Moving On! Tour in 2019. As the host of her podcast AudPod, she regularly features different folks in the Chicago music community.
