ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Cellist Jason Calloway has performed to acclaim throughout the world as soloist and chamber
musician. Currently cellist of the Banff award-winning Amernet String Quartet, Ensemble-in-Residence at
Florida International University in Miami, Mr. Calloway was previously a member of the Naumburg awardwinning Biava Quartet, formerly in residence at the Juilliard School. He has collaborated in chamber music
with many of today's most prominent artists and gave his Carnegie Hall recital debut under the auspices of
Artists International. Mr. Calloway has been heard at Jazz at Lincoln Center and live on RAI television (Italy)
and has recorded for the Bridge, Naxos, and Albany labels.
A devoted advocate of new music, Mr. Calloway has performed with leading ensembles around the world as
well as alongside members of Ensemble Modern, Klangforum Wien, and the Arditti and JACK quartets. He has
given hundreds of premieres of works by Berio, Knussen, Lachenmann, Pintscher, and Tüür, and has
collaborated intensively with some of today's most important composers including Birtwistle, Carter,
Davidovsky, Dusapin, Henze, Hosokawa, Husa, Franke, Rihm, Roustom, Ueno, and Yannay. At Spoleto USA he
gave the premiere of Yanov-Yanovsky's Hearing Solution for cello and ensemble and also recently established
a partnership with the bassoonist Martin Kuuskmann in the premiere of Helena Tulve's new quintet at the
Pärnu/Järvi Festival.
Mr. Calloway prizes his work with Pierre Boulez and the Ensemble InterContemporain, both at the Lucerne
Festival and at the Zug (Switzerland) Kunsthaus, in addition to his collaborations with violinist Gilles Apap and
tap dancer Savion Glover. He is artistic director of Shir Ami (www.shiramimusic.com), an ensemble dedicated
to the preservation and performance of Jewish art music suppressed by the Nazis and Soviets and has also
toured widely in a duo with his wife, violinist Mari-Liis Päkk, which explores the rich contemporary literature
for violin and cello. Jason Calloway is a graduate of the Juilliard School and the University of Southern
California and his teachers have included Ronald Leonard, Orlando Cole, Rohan de Saram, Lynn Harrell and
Felix Galimir, and Luis Biava. Mr. Calloway performs on a 1992 Michèle Ashley cello, a copy of the famous
Sleeping Beauty of Montagnana, formerly owned by his teacher, Orlando Cole. Mr. Calloway is a native of
Philadelphia.
Jacob David Sudol writes intimate compositions that explore enigmatic phenomena and the inner nature of
how we perceive sound. He currently is an Assistant Professor of Music Technology and Composition and the
Coordinator of Music Technology area at Florida International University in Miami, Florida. He earned a Ph.D.
in composition at the University of California at San Diego where his mentor was composer Chinary Ung.
Dr. Sudol has been commissioned and/or performed by many prestigious ensembles and performers such as
the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, Chai Found New Music Workshop, Little Giant Chinese Orchestra, the McGill
Contemporary Music Ensemble in collaboration with the McGill Digital Composition Studio, FIU Laptop and
Electronic Arts (FLEA) Ensemble. These works have received numerous domestic and international
performances at distinguished venues such as the Music at the Anthology Festival, SEAMUS Conference,
Domaine Forget Festival of New Music, Taiwan National Recital Hall, the International Computer Music
Conference, and ISCM New Music Miami Festival.
In 2012, he founded a cello/electro-acoustic duo with FIU colleague and cellist Jason Calloway and, since 2010,
has been in a piano/electro-acoustic duo with his wife Chen-Hui Jen. He has also collaborated on
