Simon

Simon is of Sephardic and Mizrahi descent, and he is the connective tissue of the ensemble: the student who links the school world, the music, and the new generation discovering it.

He has the rare gift of making other people's work fit together. When the room is full of strong, separate voices, Simon is the one quietly making sure they add up to a single thing an audience can actually follow.

He keeps close to Marco Brita, the other natural connector in the room, and to Hadley, who hears the same low, common frequency he does.
