     Bio:

Ani Kalayjian Trio
Natalia Dziubelski is a Polish-American french horn player based in the Hudson Valley. She is a recent graduate of the Bard College and Conservatory where she studied with Metropolitan opera musicians, Barbara Jostlein and Hugo Valverde. Through Bard’s dual degree program, she received a degree in music performance as well as physics, in which she has completed her thesis Theoretical Foundations of Quantum Computing and the Implementation of the Quantum Fourier Transform as well as has been named Bard College’s Alexander Borodin scholar. Additionally, Natalia has expanded her musical journey internationally. She traveled to Haikou in Hainan Province, China, with composer and conductor Tan Dun and the Bard Philharmonic Orchestra to open the Haikou Bay Performing Arts Center. She has also collaborated with the Ghetto Classics program in Kenya to bring musical opportunities to children living in the slums in Korogocho and Mombasa. Natalia can be seen performing regularly around the Hudson Valley with the chamber organization she founded, the Hudson Valley Chamber Players.

Anna Huang is a Hungarian bassoonist, born in 1997. She completed her Bachelor's degree in Hungary before pursuing further studies in the United States at Bard College Conservatory, sponsored by Fulbright scholarship. During her time in Hungary, she had the opportunity to collaborate with esteemed conductor Tamás Vásáry, a pupil of Zoltán Kodály, and other renowned figures in the Hungarian music scene. In the United States, she performed alongside cellist Raman Ramakrishnan and played under the baton of conductor Leon Botstein.

Francis Chung-Yang Huang ’23 is a pianist from Taiwan, is in his second year of the Instrumental Arts Program at Bard College Conservatory of Music where he studies with Rieko Aizawa. He previously studied with Perter Serkin, Richard Good, and Shai Wosner. Before he came to the States, he was enrolled in the Music Talented Program in Taiwan for eight years.

Clarinetist Jalen Mims began her musical career on bass clarinet. In doing so, she truly developed an appreciation for the deep rich sounds that the instrument could create. This, paired with a really passionate middle school band director, helped to create a hunger for music making within her. During her time in undergraduate at Shenandoah Conservatory, she regularly performed in multiple ensembles including; The Shenandoah Conservatory Symphony Orchestra, The Wind Ensemble, various chamber groups, the Clarinet Choir as well as singing in The Harambee Gospel Choir. Jalen is now pursuing her Master’s degree at Bard Conservatory studying under exceptional clarinetists David Krakauer, and Pascual Martínez.

Alex Norrenberns is a 3rd year oboist/English hornist at Bard Conservatory. He studies with Elaine Douvas of the MET Opera, Ryan Roberts of the New York Philharmonic, and Alexandra Knoll of the New York Ballet. Before Bard, Alex was a member of the St Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra for 3 years. He played in principal, second, and English horn roles, as well as studied with Xiomara Mass. Additionally at Bard, Alex studies psychology as a second major. He hopes to someday be a member of a symphony orchestra and be a licensed psychotherapist.
