In addition to having their works performed by the musicians Dario Fariello, Stephan Voglsinger and Alexander Chernyshkov, the young composers are mentored by the experienced percussionist, Jennifer Torrence, during their rehearsals.

The ULYSSES performers @ Ultima are:

Down the Rabbit Hole, a music collective based in Belgium, consisting of clarinetist Filipa Botelho (Portugal), percussionist Kaja Farszky (Croatia) and cellist Hanna Kölbel (Germany), founded in 2017 by participants in the Advanced Master for Contemporary Music at The School of Arts Ghent (Belgium).
