A graduate of the California Institute of the Arts, Morley has presented work at REDCAT, Baryshnikov Arts Center, Judson Church, Triskelion Arts, Dixon Place, the Museum of the Moving Image, the Detroit Institute of the Arts, and Uferstudios in Berlin.

Adam von Housen | Violin

A winner of the 2013 American Protege International Piano and Strings Competition, he made his New York recital debut at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. Von Housen received his Master’s Degree and Artist Diploma from the Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music, where he studied violin with Masao Kawasaki and chamber music with Ursula Oppens and Adam Kent. He has performed widely across New York and beyond, bringing a vivid, intimate musical presence to contemporary and classical repertoire.

Andrea Christie | Piano

Andrea Christie is a Canadian-American pianist known for her versatility as a soloist, chamber musician, and interpreter of contemporary music. A native of Victoria, British Columbia, she began piano at age four and made her orchestral debut at fourteen performing Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto. Christie is the pianist of the New York-based Parhelion Trio, a flute-clarinet-piano ensemble praised by New York Concert Review and The Strad. Her playing moves fluently between late-Romantic intensity and new music, making her an ideal interpreter for works that ask the piano to become both instrument and witness.
