Emma Ruth Ritter, 26, was born in Northwest Indiana, but cultivated, grew, and blossomed in Greenville, South Carolina. While the sweet tea and humidity treated her well, the call of corn fields brought Emma back to Northwest Indiana for her undergraduate degree. Emma attended Valparaiso University on a full tuition scholarship and received her Bachelor of Music degree in 2015.
Following her graduation, Emma, and her cat Oliver, went off to the great land of upstate New York, where Emma began her graduate studies at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. At Eastman, Miss Ritter was seen in productions of Cendrillon​(Madame de la Haltiére), Turn of the Screw ​(Mrs. Grose), Le nozze di Figaro (Marcellina), and won awards in both the Jessie Kneisel Lieder Competition and the Friends of Eastman Opera Aria Competition.
Before making her move to Chicago, Emma soaked up the sunshine in Santa Barbara, California as a Vocal Fellow at the prestigious Music Academy of the West.
Emma now resides with her fiancé and two cats in Rogers Park. Currently, Emma is in her second and final year as a Chicago Opera Theater Young Artist. Miss Ritter made her Chicago Opera Theater last year and in November, performed her second role with the company, Marta in Iolanta ​by Tchaikovsky. Emma studies with Judith
Haddon. Last year, Emma was the grateful recipient of the Farwell Trust award from the Musicians Club of Women as well as the Arthur J. & Glenna B. Collins Scholarship from the American Opera Society.
Esther Nyberg was born in Chicago and began playing the piano at the age of four. A winner of numerous scholarships and awards, Ms. Nyberg has performed in venues in the United States and Europe, including Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall, the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage, Chicago’s Symphony Center, Preston Bradley Hall of the Chicago Cultural Center, The Harris Theater for Music and Dance, Cremona’s Museo del Violino, and Salzburg’s Wiener Saal. As concerto soloist, she has appeared with the Skokie Valley Symphony, the Chicago College of Performing Arts Symphony, and Portugal’s Orquestra de Camara de Cascais e Oeiras. She has participated in several summer music programs, most recently the American Institute of Musical Studies (AIMS) in Graz, Austria, where she received the Outstanding Lieder Collaborative Pianist Award. She has also performed in solo and collaborative masterclasses conducted by Barbara Bonney, Bo Skovhus, Martin Katz, Ingrid Fliter, Jeremy Denk, and Boris Berman, among others.
Inspired by her teachers and mentors to serve the community, Esther continues to perform at several Chicago assisted living centers and thoroughly enjoys teaching. She currently serves on faculty at Concordia University’s Preparatory and Community Piano Program and maintains her own private studio. She is also very interested in literature, the visual arts, poetry, dance, philosophy, and theology.
Ms. Nyberg holds a Bachelor of Music degree from The Catholic University of America and a Master of Music degree from Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts, where she recently received a Performance Diploma studying under scholarship with Ludmila Lazar.

Jane Dickson is a Glasgow based composer and pianist. Her background includes classical piano and conducting, live electronics performance and composition and free improvisation using extended techniques.

She has completed commissions from members of the London Symphony Orchestra and BBC Radio 4 and performed and had her work performed across Europe including national radio and television broadcasts in Austria, Spain and the UK. Her recent collaborative releases include Wandelweiser und so weiter (another timbre) and Accidents of Matter or of Space (SUPPEDANEUM). Her current research explores virtuosity and gender in contemporary performance and alternative methods of notation, and heavily informs her creative practice. She is a member of international group n s m b l and has premiered two works by Jakob Ullmann: son imaginaire III (HCMF ʻ13) and solo V (Courtisane ʼ15). Recent awards include PRS Women Make Music (for How to Make Two Outfits Out of One, Battersea Arts Centre) and Creative Scotland Artists Bursary for Composition, both for the creation of new and experimental opera.

Hunter Award, Banff Centre, SOCAN Foundation and Toronto Arts Council; in 2005 her work Garland (for Tafelmusik) was awarded Canada’s prestigious Jules Léger Prize. In addition to her work as an independent composer, she was Artistic Director of the Toronto ensemble Arraymusic from 1988 to 1993, and she was a member of the ground-breaking multidisciplinary performance collective, URGE, from 1992-2006. Linda teaches composition privately and at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Canada.
Founded in 2010, a•pe•ri•od•ic‘s repertoire explores the indeterminacy of various musical elements including instrumentation, structure, pitch, and/or duration. Drawn to works of sparseness, contemplation, and quietude, this “daring group” (Chicago Reader) has a history of interpreting distinctive pieces using a collaborative rehearsal process, deriving meaning and intention from oblique prose scores with great sensitivity.
Led by Nomi Epstein, the ensemble has commissioned, premiered, and recorded works by composers such as Michael Pisaro, Eva-Maria Houben, Jürg Frey, James Saunders, and Pauline Oliveros. a•pe•ri•od•ic released its debut album, more or less, featuring the music of Jürg Frey in 2014 under New Focus Recordings. The ensemble has received funding from the Swiss Arts Council, the Earle Brown Foundation, the Goethe Institute, and the Foundation of Contemporary Arts. Members of a•pe•ri•od•ic hold graduate degrees in music performance or composition from Chicago-area universities and conservatories, and are featured in other Chicago-based groups including Ensemble Dal Niente, Outer Voices, and Mucca Pazza.

—————————
With a passion for gospel music, Andrew plays for City of Refuge, UCC in Oakland, California. With a passion for free improvisation and experimentation, he created the polytonal “Ives Band,” and the jazz/gospel-oriented “Trouble Ensemble.” He strives to integrate these musical streams through improvisation and creative composition. His 2014 chamber opera Heaven Down Here explores the profound hope and profound danger of both experimentation and faith traditions through the story of Jim Jones’ People Temple. His 2015 solo album Heard the Voice is a “dialogue” between experimental sounds and melodies of spirituals.

In his solo piano set, he will spontaneously innovative harmonies and surprising compositional forms that incorporate a wide variety of traditions. As he weaves these sounds together into an original musical narrative, he will bring them into dialogue and deconstruct them until they are heard and understood in radically new ways.
