Yoon Sun Choi, born in South Korea, raised in Canada and now a New York-based improvising vocalist and pianist using her vocal prowess that transitions effortlessly from resonant, haunting melodies to deep, resonant wails. Yoon has made significant contributions to the music scene over her twenty-year-long career performing and collaborating with esteemed artists including Mark Dresser, Darius Jones, Jacob Sacks, and Kenny Wheeler, on prestigious stages such as The Blue Note, Birdland, and Carnegie Hall.

Katie Seiler is a New Hampshire native who attended Western Michigan University for a Bachelors in Jazz Voice, and New England Conservatory for a Masters in Jazz Voice. Katie is a performer, voice teacher, and certified Alexander Technique teacher residing in Brooklyn, NY. Katie currently performs a combination of her own original music as well as with various ensembles in styles ranging from choral, folk singer/songwriter, vocal jazz, and new music. When she’s not performing, she’s teaching private voice and the Alexander Technique through her own studio, is a voice instructor at Third Street Music School in Manhattan, and serves as a guest adjudicator, clinician, and educator.

Pianist, composer, & bandleader Mara Rosenbloom has been called “a whole hearted poet of the piano,” (All About Jazz). The New York Times has praised her penchant for “full-bore group improvising,” while The Chicago Reader has written that her ensemble “achieves an elusive chemistry and degree of spontaneous interaction that transcends mental boundaries.” Currently Rosenbloom leads the trio Flyways, and performs with the collective ensembles Siren Xypher, XXE, and Every - a transcontinental duo with Croatian Vocalist Barbara Majnarić.

Mumbai-born, Brooklyn-based vocalist Christine Correa relocated to the U.S. to attend Boston’s New England Conservatory soon becoming involved in a variety of improvisational contexts. Christine has appeared at festivals and clubs in the U.S., Europe, South America and India and has recorded with MacArthur fellows Ran Blake and Steve Lacy among others.
