Lukas Kühne is a German sculptor whose works have been shown in Europe and North and South America. Kühne works with different “materials” such as light, wood, and sound. Together with Robyn Schulkowsky, he created and developed the Marimbons, and founded the Marimbon Ensamble Montevideo (MEM) in 2003.

Robyn Schulkowsky is a percussionist and composer. Before moving over to Germany in 1980 to work with Karlheinz Stockhausen and the Cologne School of composers, she taught percussion at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, and has been part of the German New-Music-scene ever since.

Joey Baron was born in Richmond, Virginia. Since 1964, Mr Baron has performed backing up jazz legends Carmen McRae and Hampton Hawes. He moved to NYC in 1982, where his diverse talents and musicality aligned him with artists such as Laurie Anderson, Jay McShann, and Big Joe Turner. Currently through solo concerts and with his band, Joey Baron continues to showcase his compositions and playing; always exploring his own brand of lyrical, soulful music.
