Award winning Italian vocalist, songwriter and dancer Carmen Marsico hails from the mountainous and wild region of Basilicata, a dramatic landscape that also inhabits her heart and can be heard in her music. She has immersed herself in the traditions of the south of Italy and tirelessly delved deeper into researching the origins of these sounds. On that journey she has followed paths that led her to other cultures and musical traditions; as she's spun this web wider and wider, patterns have emerged and grown bolder. Apart from being a performer she is also an Associate Professor of Voice at Berklee College of Music.

Tev Stevig is a performer, composer, and educator whose work with contemporary modal music, traditional styles from the Balkans, Greece, Turkey, Afghanistan, North India, Iran, and the Arab world prompted the New York Music Daily to call him,"one of the world's most brilliantly individualistic guitarists." He composes and performs on a variety of plucked and bowed string instruments from around the world, appearing in venues across North America and Europe. Tev is also an active member of the Orchestrotica, Czarna Wolgastar, Klezwoods, and the Late Risers, and is the artistic director of Labyrinth New England, a Boston-based organization dedicated to presenting traditional and contemporary modal music of the Mediterranean, Middle East, North Africa, Central, and South Asia as a holistic art form that transcends national borders.

He has a particular interest in the intersection of music with theater, dance, and the visual arts, and frequently performs new works that incorporate diverse media.
