Artist Biographies:

Baritone Robert Honeysucker has appeared with premier opera companies across the United States and overseas. He is a member of Videmus and the Jubilee Trio, and he teaches at Longy School of Music and the Boston Conservatory.

Former National Poetry Slam Champion, Regie Gibson has been featured on HBO's DefPoetry Jam and National Public Radio, and he has been nominated for a Boston Emmy. His poetry has been published in Poetry Magazine, Harvard's Divinity Magazine, and the Iowa Review.

A pioneer in the chamber music landscape, pianist Rachel Goodwin founded and served for nearly three decades as Artistic Director of Ashmont Hill Chamber Music, an urban and grassroots-supported chamber music series. Together with longtime collaborating musicians with connections to some of Boston's finest musical institutions, she went on to found Convergence Ensemble in 2015. The City of Boston named her an Artist/Humanist Fellow in 2002, and her work as Artistic Director and performer has been recognized by three awards from the National Endowment for the Arts and nearly continuous funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
