Composer, improviser, and vocalist Katerina Gimon’s uniquely dynamic, poignant, and eclectic compositional style has earned her a reputation as a distinct voice in contemporary Canadian composition and beyond.

Her compositions are performed widely across Canada, the United States, and internationally. She is the composer-in-residence for Myriad vocal ensemble and a founding member (composer, voice, electronics) of new music and AR/VR collective Chroma Interactive, which endeavours to explore new avenues and intersections for artistic expression by combining various art forms and new technologies. She currently lives and works in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples (the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, and Musqueam Nations). Read more.

Composer Gerald Cohen has been praised for his “linguistic fluidity and melodic gift,” creating music that “reveals a very personal modernism that…offers great emotional rewards” (Gramophone Magazine). His deeply affecting compositions have been recognized with numerous awards and critical accolades. Cohen is a noted synagogue cantor and baritone; his experience as a singer informs his dramatic, lyrical compositions. Cohen’s best-known work, his “shimmering setting” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) of Psalm 23, has received thousands of performances from synagogues and churches to Carnegie Hall and the Vatican. Gerald Cohen received a BA in music from Yale University and a DMA in composition from Columbia University. He is cantor at Shaarei Tikvah, Scarsdale, NY, and is on the faculties of The Jewish Theological Seminary and Hebrew Union College. Read more.
