Musician

After being enamored by the vocal qualities of the violin, Benjamin began studying Suzuki violin at age five, adding piano just a few years later. His career began to blossom when he started showing an interest in jazz, just months before his 13th birthday. It all started with a summer long workshop with saxophonist, Odean Pope at the famed Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz in Philadelphia, the only education institution at the time willing to accept a violinist into their program. Soon after, Benjamin started studying privately with legendary jazz violinist John Blake Jr. among other Philadelphia based jazz luminaries on faculty at the Clef Club. It wasn't long before he developed a name for himself. You would frequently catch him on the Philly scene, whether at sessions or gigging professionally, both as a leader and sideman.

Ingrid Hagel

Born: January 3

Ingrid, a jazz violinist, singer and songwriter, was born in Tallinn, Estonia, where her musical journey began at a young age. At just six years old, she picked up the violin at Nõmme Music School, and over the years, music became an essential part of her identity. However, her true passion for jazz wasn’t ignited until she attended to Charles Lloyd concert at the Jazzkaar Festival when she was sixteen. That experience shifted her focus from classical music to jazz, marking the beginning of her deep exploration into the world of improvisation and rhythm. Ingrid pursued her formal musical education at the Estonian Academy of Music, but her creative journey soon took her beyond Estonia's borders
