Federico Balducci

The music of Puerto Rican guitarist and composer Federico Balducci can be described as a mixture of classical and ambient music with unusually intricate harmonies. Federico Balducci has a Bachelor's Degree in Film Scoring from Berklee College of Music.

Steven Bonacci

Steven Bonacci (b. 2002) is a composer, improviser, and saxophonist based in upstate New York, where he studied under Joan Tower, Sarah Hennies, and George Tsontakis at Bard College. He has written for a wide variety of musical idioms, including chamber music, jazz for large and small ensembles, orchestral music, improvisational works, and music for installations. He has worked with members of the International Contemporary Ensemble, the Da Capo Chamber Players, and The Orchestra Now. As an instrumentalist, he has performed with Marcus Roberts, Robert Carl, SO Percussion, and many others. In 2024, he founded BARQ, a composers’ collective dedicated to playing new music and free improvisation. BARQ will release an album featuring works by emerging composers in 2026.

Green Kill Sessions Program

Musicians and performers can shine on stage—and online—through Green Kill’s one-hour livestream shows. Performances happen Friday through Sunday evenings (except the first and third Fridays). Each event features a small in-person audience (30 seats) and global livestream access.

Performers are expected to help promote their shows, arrive early for sound checks, and send in equipment lists ahead of time. The venue provides a full sound and lighting setup, including drums, amps, a digital piano, and livestream equipment.

Earnings from ticket sales are split among performers, the venue, and the sound engineer—so promotion and turnout matter! Green Kill shares event highlights on YouTube and Substack, giving performers lasting, professional-quality footage to use for promotion. Learn more.
