Walton Music was established in 1950 by Norman Luboff as a publishing house for Luboff's choral arrangements and compositions. Today, Walton serves the choral community by publishing works by noted composers such as Eric Whitacre and Ola Gjeilo, and promoting both new composition and the preservation of classics such as Vivaldi's Gloria. Editions in the Walton catalog number in the thousands.

Gunilla Luboff (spouse of the late Norman Luboff) worked for many years as the owner and editor of Walton Music. During Gunilla's tenure, she maintained and expanded the Walton catalog, helping it to become one of the leading choral catalogs in the United States and a well-respected catalog across the world. Originally from Sweden, Gunilla helped to establish Walton as a champion of Scandinavian choral music, making Scandinavian works more readily available in the United States.

In October 2013, the Walton catalog was acquired by GIA Publications, a publisher located in Chicago, Illinois, with a history of over 70 years.

Flamingosis (the name comes from a free- style Frisbee move that his father invented) is a New Jersey-based electronic music producer and beatboxer. Drawing on influences from other producers such as Flying Lotus and J Dilla as well as vintage funk and disco music, Flamingosis creates engaging and souful tracks and puts on an infectiously energetic live show.

Rooted in the community-building power of music, Brooklyn based singer and composer Elly Kace loosened the grip on her acclaimed opera career during lockdown, taking an unconventional leap into composition and production. Enhancing her voice through dense layering and electronic effects, experimenting with synthesizers, drum machines and sound healing instruments, she began to build a sound that could seamlessly oscillate between classical and mainstream musical textures.

This resulted in her debut pop album, Nothing I see means anything, a densely conceptual and boundary-pushing collection of songs that explored her meditative, introspective, and danceable side. But with her latest full-length, Object Permanence, her songs have become deeply personal and yearning. It’s an encapsulation of her ceaseless willingness to be pushed to new creative heights, all while excavating her grief and turning it into something healing and stunning. 

Kace has been singing professionally since age 6 appearing with artists including Bobby McFerrin, Theaster Gates, Celine Dion, David Foster in venues such as National Sawdust, Ravinia, Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. Her voice has been featured in multiple movies and tv shows, including the feature films “The Farewell”, “Goodnight Mommy” (Naomi Watts), “Maestro” (Bradley Cooper), and “Expats” (Nicole Kidman). 

Her creative efforts have already included major talents such as Ziyad Asrar (Whitney), Will Miller (Resavoir and Whitney), Jay Rudolph (Weyes Blood), Colin Croom (Twin Peaks), Alex Weston (The Farewell, Expats), Franky Rousseau and Dominic Mekky (Chris Thile, Emma Frank), Jack Broza (Forager), Isaac Levien (Altus), Aaron Edgcomb (CLAK), Erika Dohi, Macie Stewart, Lia Kohl, and more.

Nathan Fletcher’s music has been described as "melodious, neo-Romantic” (Anne Midgette, The Washington Post), “haunting... [and] genuinely moving…” (Katie Stanton, The Oxford Student). In 2017, Washington National Opera commissioned Nathan to compose an original chamber opera, A Bridge for Three, in collaboration with librettist Megan Cohen. Bridge premiered at the Kennedy Center and was subsequently produced by Hartford Opera Theater (2018) and at Texas Christian University (2019).

Nathan composed the music for two short opera films written and directed by Adam Taylor – Someone Like Me (L'opera di Facebook) and Rumspringawakening – which were both included in Opera Philadelphia’s inaugural film screening series at Festival O22, having been selected from more than 800 submissions. Someone Like Me has been described as a “must-see” (Jenna Simeonov, Schmopera) and “charming, dirty, irreverent, and a ton of fun” (Peter Szep, co-founder, New York Opera Alliance). Among many other film festival selections and accolades, The Facebook Opera took home the Audience Favorite and Judges’ Award prizes at the July 2018 Iron Mule Festival in Brooklyn, won Best Musical at the 2018 Orlando Film Festival, and received a Telly Award in 2018. Rumspringawakening won the Audience Favourite and Gold Medal prizes at the Autumn 2019 London-Worldwide Comedy Short Film Fest, as well as a Silver Medal in the August 2019 Global Music Awards.

For his orchestral song cycle on poems by Edna Saint Vincent Millay (premiered in 2017 by soprano Maria Eleni Zollo and the Mannes Orchestra), Nathan received an Honorable Mention in the 2017 ASCAP Foundation Morton Gould Young Composer Awards, having been a finalist in 2015 and 2016. Nathan is a member of ASCAP.

Other places where Nathan’s compositions have been performed include Opera America’s National Opera Center in New York, The Bushnell in Hartford, the Pilch Studio Theatre (Oxford, U.K.), the New York Festival of Song’s 2016 NYFOS Next Festival, the Downtown Brooklyn Chamber Music Festival, the University of Connecticut, the 2015 ACDA National Conference in Salt Lake City, and the Soapbox Gallery in Brooklyn.

Choral singing has been a formative influence on Nathan’s musical life, and he maintains an active career as an ensemble singer. Currently a tenor in the Schola Cantorum at the Church of Saint Vincent Ferrer in New York, he sang as a treble from 2002 to 2006 at Saint Thomas Church, graduating from its Choir School in 2007. He returned to Saint Thomas from 2017 to 2019 as a Gentleman of the Choir. He has sung as a regular chorister or frequent substitute at numerous houses of worship around New York and Connecticut including Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, the Basilica of Saint John the Evangelist, and Temple Emanu-El. He has also appeared with early music group Ensemble Origo and new music group S.E.M. Ensemble. In 2018, Nathan joined a chorus of monks in an extravagant performance with pop superstar Madonna at the Met Gala. Nathan is a member of the American Choral Directors Association, having been a finalist in its 2014 Brock Student Composition Competition.

Nathan received his B.M. summa cum laude from UConn in 2015, studying with Kenneth Fuchs, and his M.M. from the Mannes School of Music in 2017, studying with Lowell Liebermann. He is an adjunct lecturer at the City University of New York (Baruch College), where he teaches courses in music theory and music appreciation, and directs the Baruch Chorus.
