John Mackey is a composer currently based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  He's also lived in New York, Austin, Los Angeles, and Ohio, but he prefers not to talk about Ohio.

As a frequent collaborator, John has worked with a diverse range of artists, from the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps to choreographer David Parsons, from the Alvin Ailey Dance Company to the US Olympic Synchronized Swim Team. (The team won a bronze medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics performing to Mackey's work for clarinet and percussion, "Damn.")

John has served as a Meet-The-Composer/American Symphony Orchestra League Composer In Residence with the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphony and with the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra. He has been Composer In Residence at the Vail Valley Music Festival in Vail, Colorado, and in 2005, at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music.  He returns to Cabrillo this summer for  performances of his trombone concerto, "Harvest," conducted by Marin Alsop, with trombonist Joseph Alessi of the New York Philharmonic.

John holds degrees from The Juilliard School and The Cleveland Institute of Music, where he studied with John Corigliano and Donald Erb, respectively.

To entertain himself while procrastinating on commissions, John enjoys photography and road cycling (but not at the same time). You can hear his music and see his photography (mostly of food, and the backs of conductors’ heads) on his website: www.ostimusic.com

Katarzyna Borek is one of the most outstanding Polish pianists to emerge in the 21st century. In addition to many years of performing with the classical repertoire and being awarded at many prestigious international competitions, Katarzyna Borek creates innovative experimental music, combining piano and electronic sounds. Her brave and open approach to music has resulted in many multi-sensory projects where music, theatre, dance, and visual arts penetrate each other, creating an avant-garde artistic collage.

I am a Texas-based music educator who dabbles in composition and arranging.  

Creates a sense of scenery through music.  

Creating compositions based on a transparent sound that fuses piano and electronics,
incorporating the shimmering water and light of Impressionism, the repetition of minimal music, the spatial depth of ambient, and the lyricism of post-classical.

Characterized by quietness, a sense of transparency, shimmering light, 
the works unfold as cross-modal experiences
that transcend sound and image—
leaving gentle echoes in the depths of the heart.

Each individual work carries its own theme,
and together they resonate like pieces of a puzzle that shape the world, forming a greater whole.
