Joaquin Soffredini: Countertenor. Songwriter. Actor.
From a young age, Joaquín Soffredini stood out in music and singing. He was awarded with grants throughout his career in recognition of his talent by the “Fondo Nacional de las Artes” and the “Fundación Beethoven” among others. He perfected his skills as a countertenor in Buenos Aires with renowned teachers such as Ricardo Yost and Marilú Anselmi, in addition to studying chamber music with Mónica Cosachov. His talent led him to play the role of Orpheus in Gluck’s opera “Orfeo ed Euridice” and a few years later, to be part of the play “Espectros” (H. Ibsen) alongside the famous actress Ingrid Pelicori and Walter Quiroz. In musical theatre, he shone in “El Ave”, a show produced by Linda Peretz, under the direction of the talented Julián Vat, in which Joaquín was acclaimed by critics. On the international stage, he made his debut in Paris in 2019 with a successful tour along France, followed by performances in England, Italy and Portugal. In 2021, he composed two songs for the French film “Down in Paris” and was awarded in London as “Best Classical Singer” at the “Stars of the Albion” festival. In 2024 Joaquin spent most of his time working on his new songs, composing, producing and recording. He also created its own music videos for some of his own compositions. In 2025, he received an award for his professional achievements. This award was presented by "Madrid Magazine" in Spain. “Premio a la trajectoria professional” https://joaquinsoffredini.com/ https://www.instagram.com/joaquinsofredini/ Book a free discovery call with me!

Peter Hildebrandt: Bassist and Serial Entrepreneur
Peter is a great example of someone who proves you can balance music and another career. He is a serial entrepreneur who founded and sold companies doing such diverse things as weather forecasting for windsurfers, 3D molecular modeling, traffic signal control, photo capture software, and book publishing. Since he loves the business of making products, he also happily consulted with many companies such as HP, Intel, Roche Pharmaceuticals, Nike, RainBird, Microsoft, and others. And after selling one of his businesses, he ran research and development for a division of Steelcase, the world’s largest office furniture company, for 13 years. But he’s also a musician –playing the string bass (and later the cello) throughout that career and improving his craft. Today he’s a professional bassist in the Atlanta metro area. Finally, fifteen years ago, Peter was able to merge his love for business and music. He started Aria Lights which manufactures professional music stand lights. Today they are considered the gold-standard in symphony orchestras, on Broadway, in pits, and by freelancers throughout North America. I was lucky enough to spend time with him at the International Double Reed Society conference at Miami University and decided that you needed to get to know him too! www.arialights.com peterh@arialights.com www.score.org Book a free discovery call with me!

Clare Longendyke: Running Her Own Solo Career
Pianist Clare Longendyke is a soloist, chamber musician, and fearless advocate for new music who brings daring repertoire and thoughtful storytelling to the concert stage. Her performances are marked by imaginative programming, charismatic stage presence, and a gift for weaving together contemporary works and classical favorites. In 2024, Clare released her debut solo album, …of dreams unveiled, featuring music by Claude Debussy, Amy Williams, and Anthony R. Green. The album reached #2 on the Billboard Traditional Classical chart and was praised as “a work of remarkable pianistic invention” (The WholeNote) and “delightfully daring” (EarRelevant). A passionate collaborator with living composers, Clare has commissioned more than 30 new works and premiered over 250 pieces in the past decade. Her programs often pair works from the standard repertoire by Beethoven, Debussy, and Amy Beach, to name a few, with today’s most compelling musical voices, creating concerts that speak to the depth and vitality of the classical tradition. Highlights of Clare’s 2025–26 season include appearances with Symphony New Hampshire, the South Bend Symphony Orchestra, and the Danville Symphony of Illinois. She has appeared on recital series across the country and as a soloist with the Mankato Symphony, Rochester Symphony, and Symphonicity.

Pauline Frechette: At the Edge of Everything
Pauline Frechette is a contemporary composer. Her melodies and harmonies take you to unexpected places, emotionally driven yet only 3 or 4 minutes long.
