Ms. Kante-Cahn has participated in European festivals such as the “Musik in den Heusern der Stadt”, the Rostropovich Cello Festival, and Kuhmo (Finland) Chamber Music Festival.

Will Galison

Will Galison is one of the premiere harmonica players in the world. In addition to performance e has performed and recorded with artists like Sting, Barbra Streisand, Donald Fagen, Madeleine Peyroux, Carly Simon and Jaco Pastorius…
Jazz giant Toots Thielemans called Will “The most individual and innovative of the new generation of harmonica players”. While known mostly as a jazz and studio harmonica player, Will is also a talented singer/songwriter and guitarist. Of his solo album “Line Open”, music critic Bill Milkoski wrote: “His clever lyrics and pleasant vocals …evoke such legendary popmeisters as Paul Simon, Billy Joel and Paul McCartney." In his performances Will draws from all his talents, as a singer/songwriter, guitarist, composer and harmonica virtuoso, solo or backed by some of New York’s best sidemen. Will Galison may defy categorization and pull a few surprises, but he always delivers a memorable and soul-stirring performance.
