Laura Reid: From a Suzuki violin kid through an orchestral career, Laura now plays classical music on formal stages, contributes to recording projects, and improvises and collaborates within the experimental music community.

Jiajia Li: Since 2014, Jiajia's wide interests in music have taken her from concert hall appearances with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra to improvised shows with the experimental concert series Bug Incision, to directing a traditional Chinese ensemble, Gailan Ensemble, and forming her latest pop band, Ginger Beef.
