Lesley Mok is a New York City-based percussionist and interdisciplinary artist who works in sound, installation, film, and theater. Interested in the ways social conditions shape our beings, Lesley's work focuses on overacting humanness to explore ideas about alienness and privilege. Their work draws from queer and feminist art practices, Chinese philosophy, Afro-Cuban musical traditions, futurist perspectives, and ancestral knowledge.
As a percussionist, Lesley has performed alongside Tomeka Reid, William Parker, Ingrid Laubrock, Mary Malvorson, Kenny Barron, John Patitucci, Cory Smythe, Jen Shyu, Kalia Vandever, Fay Victor, Adam O’Farrill, and others. They have performed throughout the Americas and Europe, including Roulette Intermedium, SF Jazz, Ringling Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Art, Unerhört Festival, Jazzowa Jesien, Cologne Jazz Festival, moers festival, Panama Jazz Festival, and Dominican Republic Jazz Festival. more info at: https://www.lesleymok.com
Phillip Golub "a musician in fast ascent" (Wall Street Journal), is a pianist, improviser, and composer based in Brooklyn, NY. Originally from Los Angeles, he creates highly original and expressive music, grounded in but not constrained by his engaged practice in jazz, creative music, and new music. Technically audacious, Phillip sublates sound worlds as distant as Thelonious Monk and Alexander Scriabin, the ars subtilior and Cecil Taylor, negating conventions, yet building on traditions.
Phillip has an unwavering commitment to honoring the genealogy of jazz. He has played numerous times with Cecil McBee and worked extensively with Wayne Shorter and esperanza spalding on their opera … (Iphigenia). He continues to play a crucial role in the Shorter estate, digitizing and preparing manuscripts for publication. more info at: phillipgolubmusic.com
Buffalo-based oboist Megan Kyle performs as a soloist, improviser, chamber musician, and orchestral musician, with a particular interest in resonances between early and recent music. She is fascinated by expressive extremes and unexpected acoustic phenomena on the oboe, experimenting with defamiliarizing the instrument through microtonality, multiphonics, timbral variation, and noise.
In addition to her work with Senso di Voce (with vocalist/composer Esin Gunduz), Megan performs and creates with new music ensemble Wooden Cities, musical research group Null Point, and oboe/piano/violin/cello quartet The Evolution of the Arm. She is a member of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and performs as a substitute with professional orchestras across the country. She has appeared as a soloist at the New York Electroacoustic Music Festival. Megan teaches oboe and English horn at SUNY Geneseo and SUNY at Buffalo.
