Named 1 of 10 Contemporary LGBTQ Composers You Should Know in 2018,” Chrysanthe Tan is an autistic composer, violinist, and songwriter who performs electroacoustic baroque pop incorporating violin, looping pedal and vocals. As a composer, she writes intimate chamber works incorporating spoken word poetry and elements of Cambodian and Greek folk music. In 2015, Chrysanthe toured the world as Ariana Grande’s violinist, and today she co-hosts a podcast called Underscore, produced by Classical KUSC.

Theodore Jander, composer of diverse sacred and secular music, has taken listeners on musical excursions touching upon multiple moods and emotions. His music is infused with authenticity and wit, while his sacred music also evokes a deeply rooted faith. He is Composer-in-Residence and Worship Ministry Coordinator at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Hazelwood, MO; is Artistic Director for the Greenleaf Singers; and has launched a unique mission on Patreon, Seasonal Scriptures in Song.
