About the Artists

Pianist

Pianist Carolyn Enger has gained critical acclaim for her lyrical and dynamic playing, as well as her deeply felt interpretations of works from the 18th century to the present. In addition to an active performance schedule on two continents, Ms. Enger has enjoyed remarkable success as a recording artist: The New York Times selected her Naxos recording of intimate Ned Rorem miniatures, Piano Album I & Six Friends, as one of the newspaper’s “Best In Classical Recordings” for that year, writing “Among the 90th–birthday tributes this year to the essential American composer Ned Rorem, this recording especially stands out,” while Gramophone declared, “Enger raises the miniatures to a higher level.”

Composer-in-residence

JJ Hollingsworth holds a master’s degree in composition from the highly regarded San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where she studied with Elinor Armer, one of California's outstanding composers. Hollingsworth has composed over one hundred works, including three musicals, a symphony, and a film score.
