From vaudeville to the vanguard, saxophonist Jonathan Hulting-Cohen’s performances are “distinct” (Fanfare),“adroit” (ModernJazz.gr), and “fun to watch” (Oregon Arts Watch). Beyond premiering and performing concerti across the United States, Hulting-Cohen is a member of New Thread Quartet and The Moanin’ Frogs and is a frequent recording artist. Venues range from Carnegie Hall, Chamber Music Northwest, and the Virtuosi Concert Series in Winnipeg, to community concert series across North America.

Praised for his “revelatory” (New York Times) and “technically flawless, poetically inspired and immensely assured playing” (Toronto Star), pianist Jiayan Sun has given recitals and performed with distinguished conductors and orchestras worldwide, including The Cleveland Orchestra, The Hallé, Chinese and RTÉ (Ireland) National Symphony orchestras, Fort Worth and Toledo Symphony orchestras, and the Toronto and Aspen Concert orchestras.
