“My name is Moritz Eggert and I’m a composer and pianist from Germany. I play lots of contemporary music but also classical music, solo, chamber music. I specialize also a little in lied (song) classical/contemporary. I play with lots of chamber music ensembles…but I’m not a regular member of a group so most of the stuff I’m doing is solo.”

“So, I’m Jim Johnston, I’m a pianist and keyboardist (and also a frustrated composer). I play primarily with four ensembles that do new music to one degree or another: the Newspeak Ensemble, the Proteus Ensemble, the Fireworks Ensemble, and a rock quartet that does contemporary music called Electric Company.”

I’m the director and founder of the S.L.A.M Festival here in Seattle (which is the Seattle Latin American Music Festival) and I also serve as Vice-President on the board of the Washington Composers Forum.”
