George Papajohn (b. 1998 Milwaukee) is a composer, improvisor, and multi-instrumentalist currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His recent work engages with latent tensions of identity held within the material, historical, and phenomenological aspects of sound. 

His music has been performed by Ensemble Dal Niente, the Northwestern University Contemporary Music Ensemble, and by frequent collaborators Cameron Roberts and Julia Ansolabehere. George earned his B.M. in music composition at the Northwestern University Bienen School of Music where he studied with Alex Mincek, Hans Thomalla, and Jay Alan Yim.

The works of the composer and conductor, Valerio Sannicandro, are the product of different cultural influences and of his own reflections about the parameter 'space' that he researches consequently, first as compositeur associé at IRCAM (Paris), then at the Technische Universität (Berlin) where he got a Ph.D. in Musicology and at Experimentalstudio (Freiburg). Compositions like Strali (2002), Fibrae (2005), Ius Lucis (2006/2007) and Forces Motrices (2010) are the most outstanding examples of his interest in large orchestral instrumentations, as well as of his concern with the role and the aesthetic of (live) electronics. He is currently working at Experimentalstudio of SWR (Freiburg) on Finesterrae, a new work for voices, viola and live-electronics. He has been awarded among others the Claudio-Abbado Prize from the Academy of Berlin Philharmonics in 2014, the Musica Viva Composition Prize, München in 2002 and 2010, the Giga-Hertz production Prize as well as the Kranichsteiner Musikpreis (2000). His works have been recorded on CD for Wergo and Telos Music Records. He has been invited at the Villa Kujoyama (Kyoto) and is new music advisor at the Philharmonisches Orchester Cottbus (Germany). His works are published by Edizioni Suvini-Zerboni (Milan).

Bio: 
Danniel RIBEIRO is a Brazilian composer from Bahia. His compositional practice is driven by research and creative exploration, focusing on exploratory instrumental writing and improvised performances supported by emerging technologies and informed by investigations into culture and identity. He examines musical gesture, instrumentality, and materiality to expand the expressive possibilities of complex timbral constructs and instrumental/sound phenomena in his compositions. His work integrates theoretical inquiry with practical experimentation, often involving the development of tailored instrumental preparations, modifications, notational systems, practical sculptural objects, amplification/transduced electronic apparatuses, and performance techniques. Danniel’s goal is to critically engage with social and cultural dimensions of contemporary concert music through research, analysis, performance, and creation, exploring the interplay between idiosyncratic artistic invention and broader cultural dynamics.

A four-time recipient of Brazil's National Composition Prize (FUNARTE), Danniel has participated in events and residencies, including Klangspuren Schwaz (Austria), the Banff Centre (Canada), Domaine Forget (Canada), Barcelona Modern (Spain), Darmstadt (GER), Festival Musica (France), New Music on the Point (USA), and ilSUONO (Italy). His works have been performed at notable venues and festivals such as Empreintes (France), Morelia (Mexico), and Sala São Paulo (Brazil).
​
Danniel has collaborated with leading international ensembles, including L’Instant Donné, Yarn/Wire, Schallfeld, JACK Quartet, Barcelona Modern, RAGE Thormbones, collective lovemusic, Dal Niente, Vertixe Sonora, and Suono Giallo. He has also benefited from advanced studies with Chaya Czernowin, Franck Bedrossian, Clara Iannotta, Philippe Hurel, Malin Bång, Toshio Hosokawa, Felipe Lara, Daniel D'Adamo, Januibe Tejera, Mark Andre, Brian Ferneyhough, and Du Yun.

Danniel earned his master’s degree in composition (M.Mus.) at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University (Canada) in 2018, studying under Philippe Leroux. As a laureate of the 2023/24 George Ladd Prix de Paris, he pursued independent studies in France and recently completed the postgraduate specialization in instrumental and mixed composition at the Conservatoire de Strasbourg (France). Currently, Danniel is a Ph.D. candidate in music composition at UC Berkeley (USA), studying with Edmund Campion, Ken Ueno, Myra Melford, and Carmine-Emanuele Cella.
