Nicholas Ludford

Nicholas Ludford (c. 1485–c. 1557) was an English composer of the Tudor period. He is known for his festal masses, which are preserved in two early-16th-century choirbooks, the Caius Choirbook at Caius College, Cambridge, and the Lambeth Choirbook at Lambeth Palace, London, along with those of the older composer Robert Fayrfax (1462–1521), with whom his music is often associated. Ludford's composing career, which appears to have ended in 1535, is seen as bridging the gap between between the music of Fayrfax and that of John Taverner (1495–1545).

Pavlo Beznosiuk

Pavlo is partly Irish and partly Ukrainian. Maybe that's what makes him so versatile? The violin, viola, medieval fiddles, he plays almost any instrument with the same virtuosity. He is praised for his style, well known as soloist, chamber musician and concert master.
The number of period instrument orchestras he has lead are so many, that it is hard to decided to mention which. The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and The Acadamy of Ancient Music are just two of them.

Arnold Schoenberg (pronounced [ˈaːrnɔlt ˈʃøːnbɛrk]) (13 September 1874 – 13 July 1951) was an Austrian and later American composer, associated with the expressionist movement in German poetry and art, and leader of the Second Viennese School. He was the most important and most influential composer of the 20th century. Schoenberg was known early in his career for successfully extending the traditionally opposed German Romantic traditions of both Brahms and Wagner, and later and more notably for his pioneering innovations in atonality.

Charles Ives

Charles Edward Ives (October 20, 1874 – May 19, 1954) was an American composer of classical music. He is widely regarded as one of the first American classical composers of international significance. Ives's music was largely ignored during his life, and many of his works went unperformed for many years. Over time, Ives would come to be regarded as one of the "American Originals", a composer working in a uniquely American style, with American tunes woven through his music, and a reaching sense of the possibilities in music.
