Juice are a British a cappella voice trio, specialising in vocals with an experimental edge. They have performed their works on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM. They also perform widely across the United Kingdom. Their debut album, 'Songspin', on the Nonclassical label, won an Independent Music Award for Best Album - Contemporary Classical. Their 2nd album, 'Laid Bare: Love Songs' is OUT NOW!

Sentieri selvaggi was founded in 1997 by Carlo Boccadoro, Filippo Del Corno and Angelo Miotto, together with some of the best Italian musicians, with the aim to bring contemporary music closer to a wider audience.

The debut of the ensemble in Milan was sold out. Since its inception, Sentieri's concerts are characterized by informal spoken presentations. During its 15 years, Sentieri has established a close collaboration with composers such as Lang, Andriessen, MacMillan, Glass, Bryars, Nyman, Wolfe, Vacchi, who write scores for the ensemble or entrust to the ensemble the first Italian performance of their works.

Furthermore, the ensemble promotes a new generation of Italian composers, from Boccadoro and Del Corno themselves to Antonioni, Colasanti, Mancuso, Montalbetti and Verrando.

Since 1998 Sentieri has been a regular guest at the most prestigious Italian concert seasons (Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Teatro alla Scala, Biennale di Venezia), at Italy’s main cultural events (FestivaLetteratura/Mantova, Festival della Scienza/Genova) and at important international festivals (Bang On A Can Marathon/New York, SKIF Festival/Saint Petersburg).

In Milan, the group has a partnership with Teatridithalia from 1998; since 2010 the ensemble's concerts are held in the new Elfo Puccini venue. Since 2005 Sentieri selvaggi organizes a season of contemporary music with programs of concerts, meetings, master classes, each year focusing on a specific thematic core; with the aim to disseminate contemporary music in unusual settings, the ensemble is also working with writers, architects, scientists, video-makers, actors, directors, rock and jazz musicians, carrying its  projects into alternative spaces such as art galleries, streets, squares, shpping malls and universities. The catalogue of CDs, DVDs and books of the group is made by more than ten titles, released by Einaudi, RaiTrade, MN Records, Velut Luna, Sensible Records. Since 2003, Sentieri is signed to Cantaloupe Music, the New York-based label by Bang On A Can, and produced 4 cds: the most recent one, Zingiber, is dedicated to new Italian musical creativity. An important chapter in the work of Sentieri is represented by productions of music  theater, which set to involve a wider audience (including Io Hitler by Filippo Del Corno, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Michael Nyman, The Sound of a Voice by Philip Glass).

Praised in the New York Times “as graceful vocally as she was in her movements”, “consistently stylish” (Boston Globe), and as a “cool, precise soprano” (Chicago Tribune), Carrie Henneman Shaw is a two-time McKnight Fellowship for Performing Musicians winner (2010, 2017). She has premiered major works by such Minnesota composers as Jocelyn Hagen and Abbie Betinis, whose annual Christmas carols she records for Minnesota Public Radio, and sung American premieres by such composers as Georg Friedrich Haas, Hans Thomalla, and Augusta Read Thomas. In addition to her work as an interpreter of contemporary works, Carrie specializes in music of the 17th century and has performed operatic roles with one of America's leading Baroque opera companies, Boston Early Music Festival.

The Crossing is a Grammy Award-winning professional chamber choir conducted by Donald Nally and dedicated to new music. It is committed to working with creative teams to make and record new, substantial works for choir – most often addressing social issues – with the possibility of changing the way we think about writing for choir, singing in choir, and listening to music for choir. Many of its over seventy commissioned premieres address social, environmental, and political issues.

Highly sought-after for collaborative projects, The Crossing’s first such partnership was as the resident choir of the Spoleto Festival in Italy, in 2007. Since then, collaborators include the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), American Composers Orchestra, Network for New Music, Lyric Fest, PRISM Saxophone Quartet, Beth Morrison Projects, Pig Iron Theatre Company, Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Park Avenue Armory, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Mostly Mozart Festival, National Gallery of Art, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Cleveland Museum, Institute for Advanced Study, Carnegie Hall, National Sawdust, and Northwestern University. The Crossing holds an annual residency at the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center in Big Sky, Montana. 

With a commitment to recording its commissions, The Crossing has issued 15 releases, receiving two Grammy Awards and three nominations in as many years. The Crossing, with Donald Nally, is the American Composers Forum’s 2017 Champion of New Music. They are the recipients of the 2015 Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence, three ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming, and the Dale Warland Singers Commission Award from Chorus America.
