Their Brazilian numbers are particularly compelling. The group is very accomplished and are classically trained as well.” When asked about their name, Skinger explains “Jade is a precious stone and that is what I think of my musicians. To have this much talent in one ensemble is quite rare and precious.” Skinger has also taught at Clark University and SUNY Purchase.
