Tara Khozein is a soprano, songmaker, improviser, teacher, and theater artist. She has lived and worked throughout the United States and Europe. As a multidisciplinary performer, Khozein explores the intersections of classical and noisy singing and physical theatre.

Khozein has performed as a soloist with major institutions in Europe, including Oper Köln, The Bregenz Festival, The Cologne Philharmonie, Budapest Music Center, and the Janáček Academy.

Judith Gordon, pianist, explores a diverse repertoire as both a soloist and in collaboration with a wide range of instrumentalists and singers. A featured guest of chamber music festivals and series such as Apple Hill, Charlottesville, Music Mountain, Santa Fe, Spoleto, Tanglewood, and Music from Salem, she has also appeared with the Boston Pops, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and was a member of the percussion-based ensemble Essential Music. A graduate of the New England Conservatory, Gordon was a Boston Globe ‘Musician of the Year’ and an associate professor of music at Smith College from 2006-20.
