Season Sponsor


THE QUEEN’S CARTOONISTS The Queen’s Cartoonists play music from classic cartoons and contemporary animation. The performances are synchronized to video projections of the original films, and the band leads the audience through a world of virtuosic musicianship, multi-instrumental mayhem, and comedy. Behind the project is a single question: Is it possible to create jazz and classical music in the 21st century that appeals to everyone? Even people who normally wouldn’t go to concerts? The Queen’s Cartoonists present a concert for everybody, regardless of age, gender, or familiarity with the concert hall. Tying this diverse concert together are comedic anecdotes involving the cartoons and their composers. The band is on a musical mission of equal parts performance, preservation, and education. Expect the unexpected! from repertoire that includes the Golden Age of animation, cult cartoon classics, modern animation, and elements of a musical circus. Since their inception in 2015, The Queen’s Cartoonists have brought their unique sound to performing arts centers in more

than 20 states, and have opened for the New York Philharmonic. The six members, all currently living in Queens, New York, are world-class professional musicians. The band has been featured on NPR and in numerous major publications, including The Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, and Mashable.


MEET THE MEMBERS JOEL “SWEET SAUCE” PIERSON – Musical Director, Piano Dr. Pierson has made a career out of music and mockery, or perhaps a mockery of his career in music. He has worked with artists of great repute (the New York Philharmonic, the Kronos Quartet), and artists of even greater ill-repute (Linkin Park, Ke$ha). Wayne Newton told Joel he loved him, and Paul McCartney gave him a shoulder massage. He has performed on all seven continents (yes, even Antarctica), and, as a songwriter, was signed to Warner Brothers Records. His music has been performed by major symphony orchestras, including Atlanta, Houston, Toronto, Cleveland, and The Philly Pops. Joel wrote additional music for the 2013 film The Internship, and is the author of the books You Suck at Piano and 20 Piano Pieces for People with Emotional Problems. See and hear more on his website: www.therealjoelpierson.com

GREG “EGGS AND” HAMMONTREE – Trumpet, Trombone Greg Hammontree has been tinkering with music his entire life, sometimes at places like Radio City Music Ball, Symphonic Space, The Jazz Standards, Studio 55, Flushing Town Mall, The Bowery Bathroom, The Louis Armstrong Mouse Museum, and in Chinatown. No wait, I meant actual China. It’s real, people - Greg has been there and lived to tell the tale. Greg has a surprising number of dedicated fans in Italy, even though his Italian is “no es bueno.” He has a reputation of being a fearless cartoon trumpet master, meaning he will take on any challenge, no matter how fast, ridiculous, or potentially dangerous. Greg received his Master Degree in Jazz Performance from CUNY, Queens College and is now a professional freelance trumpet player in New York City: #unemployed #happyhour #blessed #hashtag


KAISA “MAHAVISHNU” MÄENSIVU – Bass Kaisa Mäensivu grew up in the small Finnish village of Nahkahousut, which roughly translates to “Leather Pants.” She still remembers the first time she heard jazz... there she was, with pigtails and saddle shoes in the long northern summer evening... the music was so enchanting it made her drop her herring into a lake. Kaisa was changed forever. She packed it up for the big city (Onpahanvaanlampi, which translates to “Well, here’s a pond”), then the bigger city (Kissanpiiskaajankuja, which translates to “Cat Spankers Alley”), and then finally the biggest of them all - New York! She got a Master Degree in Jazz Bass at the Manhattan School of Music, and spends her time jetting back and forth between New York and Europe. If you see her after the show, please do greet her in her favorite Finnish greeting: “Haistat rusinoilta!” [Ed. – It won’t hurt to look up the translation first.]

ROSSEN “CHOCK FULL” NEDELCHEV – Drums Rossen Nedelchev is a professional drummer, producer, and educator in New York City. He hails from Sofia, Bulgaria, and let me tell you, that’s a helluva cab fare. Get it? He hailed a cab from Europe? His jack-of-all-trades mentality extends to musical styles as well, being an in-demand session drummer in the worlds of pop, jazz, funk, jazz-funk, rhythm & blues, blues & rhythm, rhythm & rhythm, and bluesy jazz. Rossen is the band leader for the rhythm & rhythm band Alter View and he plays drums for the eight-time NAMMY award-winning and GRAMMY®-nominated singer Jana Mashonee, the NYC pop/ electronic band The Qualia, and The Queen’s Cartoonists. He produces for a variety of artists and has a Graduate Diploma in Jazz Performance from the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music.


MARK “DINGO” PHILLIPS – Clarinet, Soprano Saxophone The descendent of a sheep-thief and a woman who baked her enemies into pies, Mark Phillips is the luckiest jazz immigrant in history. Upon deciding to move Up Over (what Australians call the U.S.) to pursue great music and fewer deadlier creatures, Mark was told that, in fact, he was already a U.S. citizen. The hard part being magically taken care of, Mark landed in Queens in 2011. His wacky musical journey started by studying classical saxophone, but has since morphed into being the best damn cartoon clarinetist on multiple continents. His instrumental accomplishments have not gone unnoticed, as he is now a Selmer Artist, ranking him among the best woodwind players in New York City. His bartending skills, while occasionally useful, have proven to be less distinguished, as Australians have a natural tendency to over-pour and under-care about their patrons.

DREW “DRANKA” PITCHER – Flute, Tenor Saxophone New York City-based multi-multi-multi-instrumentalist Drew Pitcher was raised close to Michilimackinac, Michigan, which, by complete coincidence, is also his DJ name. After pounding the pavement with dope beats building his street cred, Drew dropped his true musical skill: being a world-class player of the tenor sax, alto sax, clarinet, bass clarinet, flute, and harmonica. He attended the University of North Texas, where he performed and recorded with the Grammy nominated One O’Clock Lab Band. Dark economic times followed. Drew made ends meet by recording smooth jazz Christmas albums under the moniker “Montgomery Bruce,” traveling the world seeking gigs, and performing with artists such as The Coasters, The Drifters, The Platters, and, sadly, Wayne Newton. Having survived these travels, Drew now resides in New York, where he ferments malted barley and hops in his apartment.
