Alice Teyssier leads an exciting and unconventional career as a lyric soprano and flutist. She is a flutist with the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) and has appeared as a vocal soloist with San Diego Symphony, International Contemporary Ensemble, Talea Ensemble, the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble, and the Bach Collegium San Diego, amongst others. She holds degrees from the Oberlin Conservatory and the Conservatoire de Strasbourg and is in the dissertation phase of her DMA at the University of California-San Diego. She lives in Brooklyn. Joshua Rubin is a founding clarinetist and the co-Artistic Director of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), where he oversees the creative direction of more than 140 events per season in the United States and abroad. As a clarinetist, the New York Times has praised him as, “incapable of playing an inexpressive note.” Recently he has been featured as a soloist with the Seattle Symphony (under Ludovic Morlot) and at the Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center, in engagements with the Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and has given solo performances of new music in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, São Paulo, Rome and Berlin. He received degrees in Biology and Clarinet from Oberlin College and Conservatory, and his master’s degree from the Mannes College of Music, and is an alumnus of the Brevard Music Center. Cellist Michael Nicolas is one of the rising stars of his generation and a dynamic performer on the classical and contemporary music scene, in demand as a soloist, chamber musician, recording artist, and teacher. Hailed by critics from the New York Times and Washington Post, the “brilliantly assured soloist” captivates audiences across North America, Europe, and Asia with his ravishing tone, refined musicality, and probing interpretations of a wide variety of repertoire. Of mixed French-Canadian and Taiwanese heritage, Michael was born in Winnipeg, Canada, and currently resides in New York City. He is a graduate of the Juilliard School. Michael’s debut solo album, Transitions, is available on the Sono Luminus label.
