"Performer, composer, producer, and educator Sarah Rossy is based in Tio'tia:ke/Montréal. Sarah combines influences of jazz, live-processed electronics, and visual projections into autobiographical, ethereal, and socially-outspoken soundscapes for a truly unique result. Having performed hundreds of live shows of original music in under a decade and being the first Canadian finalist of the Ella Fitzgerald International Voice Competition, Sarah Rossy is an ever-expanding curious artist.

From 2013-17, Sarah led the chamber-pop group Shyre, playing 300+ live shows of original music on tours across Quebec and Eastern Canada. In 2017, Sarah's practice expanded to include interdisciplinary movement and visual projections. Mentorship with Meredith Monk, voice and movement research in Berlin, explorations of ethnic heritage at the Arabic Music Retreat, and multiple residencies at Banff Centre were all formative experiences which enticed discipline hybridization.

In 2019, Sarah joined Diasporakidz Interdisciplinary Collective and began an ancestral research journey with Diane Roberts' Arrivals Legacy Project. This meaningful work is now an active part of Sarah's creative process, and inspired WOVEN (2021), an interdisciplinary solo work exploring ancestral stories with music, movement, and visual projections.

Recent residencies include: LEÑA Residency (Galiano Island, BC), Playwrights Workshop Montreal, and Banff Centre for the Arts. Recent workshops and study include: Voice as Practice with Meredith Monk, pursuing voice/movement research at The World is Sound (Berlin), composing for the Montreal Contemporary Music Lab, and explorations of ethnic heritage at the Arabic Music Retreat.

Sarah's long list of recording collaborations include: Patrick Watson, Thanya Iyer, NO COSMOS, Rae Spoon, Rafael Zaldivar, Aaron Dolman, Jack Broza, and many more. In 2021, Sarah was appointed Artistic Director of Chœur Maha, a feminist community choir, and accepted a position as a Professor of Music at Dawson College. The interdisciplinary nature of Sarah's artistic practice now includes education as a tool for social justice, empowerment and transformation.

Sarah holds both a B.Mus and M.Mus from McGill University, where she was mentored by composers John Hollenbeck and Christine Jensen. Sarah's research has been graciously supported by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Conseil des arts et lettres du Québec, Conseil des arts de Montréal, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the SOCAN Foundation."

"Lex Korten is an award winning pianist and composer from New York City who has become an integral voice in the contemporary Jazz and improvised music scene in his home city and a rising star in the worldwide Jazz community. Korten's name has appeared in the New York Times and Vogue magazine, and he's established a resilient presence in the projects of artists such as MacArthur Fellow/Pulitzer Prize finalist Tyshawn Sorey, and Thelonious Monk Competition winner/Blue Note recording artist Melissa Aldana. Korten has otherwise found himself in demand by great musical luminaries including Jaleel Shaw, Mike Moreno, Joel Ross, Caroline Davis, Robert Hurst, Ari Hoenig, Jonathan Kreisberg, Joe Farnsworth, John Ellis, Dayna Stephens and Clarence Penn, as well as a near-comprehensive list of his own generation's most prominent bandleaders in Jazz and Black American Music.

Lex Korten has had ample opportunity to learn from some of the most dedicated and loving mentors in the piano pantheon, most formatively with Geri Allen and Benny Green. To help represent America's great original art form, a music with social purpose and irrevocable partnership with African-American heritage, is a privilege and responsibility Korten strives to fulfill every day. He has been fortunate enough to perform in service of this ideal at an extensive list of the most illustrious festivals and clubs on 5 continents.

In 2020, Lex Korten won the UNISA International Jazz Piano Competition and released his solo piano debut "Foreword" the following year, and continues to cultivate longstanding relationships with NYC venues like The Jazz Gallery, Mezzrow and Ornithology as a regular bandleader.

Lex has taught pianists from all over the world privately and through The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music."
