Caroline Shaw is a musician who moves among roles, genres, and mediums, trying to imagine a world of sound that has never been heard before but has always existed. She works often in collaboration with others, as producer, composer, violinist, and vocalist. Caroline is the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in Music, several Grammys, and an honorary doctorate from Yale.
Ringdown's music is like calling your first love on a rotary telephone, percussively tearing out the hammers from a 1924 vintage upright, and flinging each of them into space while you wait for every heartache you've ever felt to quietly return.
Danni Lee Parpan is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter based in Portland, OR. Her latest album, Truth Teller, explores distorted electric tenor ukulele and pushes the boundaries of how instruments are “supposed” to be played. Known for her high-energy live performances and witty stage banter, Danni Lee’s shows have been described as equal parts stand-up comedy and live music.
A founding and current member of the influential quartet, Sō Percussion, composer/percussionist Jason Treuting has appeared in performance throughout the world, from the Barbican to Lincoln Center, to Carnegie Hall, DOM Moscow, Walt Disney Hall, and elsewhere.
