Dr. Ceylon Mitchell II serves the arts ecosystem as a multi-hyphenate arts leader: contemporary classical flutist, educator, and entrepreneur. On a mission to celebrate marginalized identities in music, especially Black and brown voices, his diverse repertoire spans from Western European classical to living cultural traditions across the Americas, along with everything in between.
Elizabeth G Hill

Hill has led and performed in the Washington D.C. area’s most prominent chamber ensembles and is known for her work as a solo performer, educator, and lecturer.

Elizabeth is an awardee of the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County Artists and Scholars Project Grant, and the Maryland State Arts Council Creativity Grant for her solo and collaborative projects, and she was a selected artist for the 2023 MSAC Triennial Exhibit.

About Master Classes
A master class is a special opportunity for students and guests to watch and learn from a guest teacher and expert in their area. Guests work with students as a group or one at a time in front of an audience. The guest can engage with students and audiences in a variety of ways, often providing feedback on how to improve their technique, expression, and interpretation.
Guests may also share stories about their experiences such as their career, learning a piece, working with a composer, demonstrating how to play certain passages, and point out common issues and ways to improve.
All spectators and students can benefit from observing a master class and learning master's teaching and listening to the different versions of the piece.
Master Classes are always free and open to the public to observe.
