Meet pianist and composer, Timo Andres (2003 Classical Music & U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts) and pianist, Adrian Zaragoza (2022 Classical Music).

A Nonesuch Records artist, Timo's album of orchestral works, "Home Stretch," has been hailed for its “playful intelligence and individuality,” (The Guardian). He was nominated for a Grammy award for his performances on 2021’s "The Arching Path," an album of music by Christopher Cerrone. As a pianist, Andres has appeared with the LA Phil, North Carolina Symphony, the Britten Sinfonia, the Albany Symphony, New World Symphony, and in many collaborations with Andrew Cyr and Metropolis Ensemble.

Based in California, Adrian has been playing piano since he was 4 years old. He has won top prizes in several international competitions and has made appearances on Philadelphia's WRTI classical radio, "a Pod of Hope" and "Vienna Live" with Simeon Morrow.
