Since graduating from the University of Southern California with degrees in French horn and voice, Jonathan Mack has maintained an active balance as a performer in concerts, recitals, opera, the sound studio, and as an educator at U.S.C., Chapman University and in master classes around the US.

His concert work includes engagements with the London Symphony Orchestra, Chautauqua Festivals, the Carmel Bach Festival, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Minnesota Orchestra with conductors including Giulini, Meta, Previn, Boulez, Rattle, Hogwood and Tilson-Thomas. Recent performances include a tour of the province of Quebec in Beethoven's ninth symphony with the Montreal Metropolitan and Frank Ticheli's Pulitzer Prize nominated first Symphony for Festival Miami. He premiered two works at Disney Concert Hall in December, 2005; excerpts from film composer (The Matrix) Don Davis' opera Rio de Sangre for the LA Master Chorale and the multi-media opera WET by Ann LeBaron in the REDCAT theater. This summer he returned to the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival for his tenth season.

In demand as a studio singer, Jonathan has sung on over 100 productions for film, radio and television, including the 2005 Grammy Awards, television's Studio 60, and most recently "The Simpsons Movie".

Pianist Vicki Ray performs widely as a soloist and collaborative artist. She is a member of the award winning California E.A.R. Unit and Xtet. As a founding member of PianoSpheres, an acclaimed solo piano series dedicated to exploring the less familiar realms of the piano repertoire, her playing has been hailed by the Los Angeles Times for "displaying that kind of musical thoroughness and technical panache that puts a composer's thoughts directly before the listener."
