Opera Magazine has said: "American soprano Judith Kellock displayed an almost unbelievable agility across an enormous range, and amazed the audience with her ravishing pianissimo tone in the very highest register." She has been featured with the St. Louis Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra, Brooklyn Philharmonic, New World Symphony, Honolulu Symphony, Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, Greek Radio Orchestra, Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, West Virginia Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic Green Umbrella Series, and orchestras throughout New York and New England. At the Aspen Festival she has been soloist with the Symphony Orchestra as well as in chamber music and oratorio. Other festival performances include Monadnock, Arcady Stockbridge Chamber Concerts, the Music Festival of the Hamptons, and SongFest, in Southern California. Judith was a recipient of a National Endowment of the Arts Recitalist Fellowship and has recorded for Koch International, Fleur de Son, Gasparo and Albany Records.

Mark Gould has been principal trumpet of the Metropolitan Opera since 1973 and has led an active and varied musical life. He has appeared as guest conductor and trumpet soloist with the Seattle Symphony, San Diego Symphony, Buffalo Philharmonic, and Hartford Symphony Orchestra, as well as at festivals such as the Vermont Mozart Festival, Waterloo Music Festival, Madeira Bach Festival, and Caramoor Festival. A member of the faculty of the Juilliard School of Music, he also conducts and directs the New York Trumpet Ensemble and the Main Street Band. He has performed frequently as principal trumpet with the New York Philharmonic and has made guest appearances and recordings with the Canadian Brass, Empire Brass, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and the Mostly Mozart Festival in New York.

Composer/Conductor and former singer Robert Manno has written over 30 chamber works, works for orchestra, song cycles, choral pieces and piano pieces. He was a member of the Metropolitan Opera Chorus from 1977 to 2001, and in 2002 served as an assistant conductor on the MET Music Staff. Outside the MET he has conducted performances of La Bohéme, Madama Butterfly, Wagner's Siegfried Idyll, Copland's Appalachian Spring, the String Serenades of Elgar, Dvorak and Tchaikovsky, Grieg's Holberg Suite, Mahler's Adagietto, and many of his own compositions. He has also appeared as a pianist, usually in performances of his own music.
