"There is a silence where hath been no sound, There is a silence where no sound may be, In the cold grave—under the deep deep sea, Or in wide desert where no life is found, Which hath been mute, and still must sleep profound;No voice is hush’d—no life treads silently, But clouds and cloudy shadows wander free. That never spoke, over the idle ground: But in green ruins, in the desolate walls Of antique palaces, where Man hath been, Though the dun fox, or wild hyæna, calls, And owls, that flit continually between, Shriek to the echo, and the low winds moan,— There the true Silence is, self-conscious and alone." (Thomas Hood)
"Logan Larson is a classical music composer originally from Waukee, Iowa. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Music at Luther College (’16) in Decorah, Iowa. While at Luther he studied composition under Dr. Brooke Joyce. Logan now studies under Dr. Forrest Pierce while pursuing his Masters in Music Composition at the University of Kansas. His compositions have premiered on three continents including North America, Europe, and Australia. His choral music has been performed largely in the Midwestern United States and his vocal music has received more international recognition. Three of his vocal works have premiered in Italy, along with performances in the United States. In terms of instrumental works, Logan is known for his fusion of classical music elements with more contemporary music techniques found in genres such as electronic dance music. He has been fortunate enough to work with fantastic musicians from around the globe and has been commissioned to write works for groups such as the Grammy-nominated string quintet Sybarite5."

"Mezzo-Soprano and composer Lisa Neher (DMA) thrives in the crossroads of the concert hall and the theatre stage. Trained as a stage actress, she is equally at home in the worlds of opera and spoken theatre, bringing dramatic specificity and committed physicality to her performances. Lisa’s compositions are shaped by her keen sense of dramatic timing and feature aching, lyrical phrases, energetic rhythmic motives, and intensely dissonant pitch clusters."
