Info

Wayne Shorter is one of the most influential saxophonists and composers in the pantheon of modern music, let alone jazz. Regarded as a pioneer since his emergence in the 1950s, Shorter’s trajectory has restlessly embodied continual exploration and unencumbered momentum. A generation of musicians and fans see and hear him as a humble master who created a timeless vocabulary as vital as it is unbound. "The Unfolding" is a contemporary work commissioned by Opening Nights Performing Arts, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Monterey Jazz Festival, and the Jazztopad Festival/National Forum of Music (Wroclaw, Poland). This new piece is inspired by recent scientific interpretations of the Big Bang theory that describe the expansion of the universe as an “unfolding” of matter in the time and space continuum.

Nancy Kelly
w/ Terry Myers

Nancy’s live performances are legendary. She has earned many awards and enlisted fans from around the globe. In a market place where wispy voices and shallow emotions abound, Ms. Kelly is a breath of fresh air…or should we say, smoky air; she takes us back to the time when jazz – and that includes vocal jazz -- was an authentic expression of real emotion.

Terry’s, dynamic career has enabled him to appear with such talented players as Tommy Dorsey Orchestra (Buddy Morrow), Bob Haggert, Milt Hinton, Butch Miles, Warren Vache', Kenny Davern, Marty Grosz, Major Holly, Mousey Alexander, Flip Phillips, Walt Lavinsky, Bill Allred, John Allred, Wild Bill Davison, Chubby Jackson, Duffy Jackson, Rosemary Clooney, Eddie Higgins, Bobby Rosengarten, Larry Elgart, Vince Giordano, and a host of others.

He began his violin studies at the age of ten, before his family moved from Japan. His more focused studies began in Florida, under the direction of Space Coast Symphony Concertmaster, Carey Moorman.

He currently studies violin with renowned professor, Michael Klotz at FIU.

He served as first violinist for the Chamber Ensembles of Quartet Movement in Brevard. He has served as concertmaster of the Florida Young Artist Orchestra (FYAO) in Orlando, Concertmaster of the (CYA) Creative Young Artists' (Philharmonic Orchestra, and Assistant Concertmaster of the Brevard Symphony Youth Orchestra. He has also been consistently selected for both the Brevard All-County and Florida All-State Orchestras, in addition to receiving many Superior ratings as an ensemble musician and soloist for Florida Orchestra Association's District and State Festivals.

He has attended the Miami Music Festival (MMF), the Orfeo International Music Festival in Italy (OIMF), and the Philadelphia International Music Festival (PIMF). During his time at OIMF, he competed in the International competition as the youngest competitor, and was awarded the “most outstanding performance”, and “natural talent award. Besides these festivals, he has attended others such as: Brevard Music Center NC, Eastern Music Festival, Crescendo International Winter Music Festival, Canon Music Camp, and the Brevard Chamber Music Seminar.

As a soloist, He has performed with the CYA Philharmonic, BSYO Symphony, Satellite Chamber and Symphony Orchestras, and with the Coral Gables Symphony for the annual American Ideal X event; his performance of the Mendelssohn violin concerto was broadcasted nationwide through PBS, and the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra (SCSO). He performs regularly with the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra (SCSO), Florida Metropolitan Orchestra (FMO), served as Principal second violinist with the Villages Philharmonic, and freelances around Florida, when his schedule allows.

Leah Johnson began her musical studies in Central Florida on piano at age 6 and cello at age 10. She earned her BM in cello performance from the Wheaton College Conservatory of Music, studying with Linc Smelser. Leah earned her MM in cello performance from DePaul University under the instruction of Stephen Balderston (former Assistant Principal of the Chicago Symphony) and played as an associate member with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago under the baton of Esa-Pekka Salonen. At DePaul she also performed with the 20+ Ensemble, dedicated to contemporary repertoire stretching the limits of instrumental technique, in its inaugural season. Leah has further studied at the prestigious Miami Music Festival on full scholarship, the Hot Springs Music Festival twice, and the Credo Chamber Music Festival. Her chamber coaches have included Michael Klotz, Amadi Azakiwe, Robert Waters, and Stephen Clapp. Leah has performed on stage with Johnny Mathis, Little River Band, Il Divo, Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses, Cirque Musica, and for a PBS TV Special with Fernando Varela and guest Jackie Evancho. She plays with a number of orchestras across Florida including the Villages Philharmonic as Assistant Principal, Florida Lakes Symphony, Gainesville Orchestra, Craig Turley Orchestra, Charlotte Symphony, and Imperial Symphony. Chamber ensembles Leah has performed with include the Riverside Chamber Orchestra as soloist, Florida Metropolitan Orchestra, and string quartets including Ensemble Chorda and the Classern Quartet.
