Meet the performers:
“Not only inspiring, but refreshing” (I Care if You Listen), OLEA Ensemble envisions a future in which the transformative power of chamber music can be used as a model for healthy connection and collaboration in all facets of society. Founded in 2021, OLEA is a trio dually based in Chicago and Cincinnati, performing regularly across the Midwest. Members include Kate Kilgus (clarinet), Alayne Honaker (violin), and Marissa Kerbel (piano). OLEA’s mission to foster community connections through innovative curation of new music has inspired recent commissions by Brad Balliett, Owen Hopper, Shane Scott Cook, Jacy Pedersen, Annie McAllister, and Christopher Jessop.
OLEA Ensemble has completed residencies at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills (2026), Akropolis Chamber Music Institute (2025), SOS ART (2024), Avaloch Farm Music Institute (2022), the Decoda Chamber Music Festival (2022), and has performed at the Thirsty Ears Festival (2026), New Music Chicago’s ImpromptuFest (2023), and the Price Hill Music Festival (2023) as well as at over 25 more intimate venues across Cincinnati and Chicago.
