Seba Molnar is a saxophonist, composer, and educator based in Boston. Molnar is a Berklee alumnus with a degree in saxophone performance. While at Berklee, Molnar had the opportunity to study with world-renowned saxophonists George Garzone, Bill Pierce, and Tia Fuller.

Since graduating, Molnar has made a name for himself as an in-demand saxophonist both as a sideman and as a leader. He has performed and recorded with Grammy-nominated artist Debo Ray, jazz legend George Garzone, Mighty Mystic, Kat Wright, and many others.

Molnar frequently plays in Boston and around the greater New England area. His music is heavily rooted in jazz tradition, but Molnar's curiosity for new sounds and innovation has enabled him to create a wide array of music that transcends genre. In March 2020, Molnar released his debut album, Level Up, featuring mentor George Garzone with Jens Sweeting, Soso Gelovani, and Clemens Grassman.

Grammy-nominated Debo Ray is a leading vocalist in Boston and New York’s elite jazz and world music circles. She is a spirited and cooperative collaborator, having shared stages with multiple Grammy award winners such as Bobby McFerrin, Esperanza Spalding, Antonio Sanchez, and Terri Lyne Carrington. She is featured in Carrington’s latest Grammy-winning project, Social Science.

Ray is also well known as a featured vocalist and music director of the award-winning, critically acclaimed group Women of the World, which regularly tours internationally and has performed on such stages as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Newport Jazz Festival.

Zahili Gonzalez Zamora is a pianist, composer, bandleader, arranger, and educator. Born in Manzanillo, Cuba, she started playing piano at the age of 6 and graduated from the National School of Music with a performance degree. She feels most defined by her Cuban heritage and her status as an immigrant. Her passion for music has taken her to Canada, Southeast Asia, and now to the United States, a land of immigrants. She is always moving forward, guided and driven by her music and the need to grow as an artist and a person, to share her music and her love of life with others. She aspires to inspire—to be a messenger for a journey that is not only her own, but one that deeply resonates.
