Class of 2020 Hometown: Skokie, Illinois Voice part: Tenor Semester Joined SA: Fall 2016 Major: Undecided Ben is an eccentric sophomore who always wishes he had more time to spend on the random things. Musically, his upbringing and core is classical, having been a violinist since the age of three. Otherwise, he likes to amass a random slew of talents and knowledge: He’s interested in Judaica, magic, cooking shows, philosophy, and pretty much anything it’s possible to have a serious conversation about. He hopes that he’s able to do his part to help SA reach higher than ever! Class of 2018
Hometown: West Windsor, NJ Voice Part: Mezzo Semester Joined SA: Fall 2014 Major: Mathematics, Economics Isi Filipovic is excited to spend her last year at Brandeis making music and memories with Starving Artists. When she's not jammin' out with the group, Isi can be found hanging out with friends, reading a good book or doing long division for fun. Starving Artists is her home away from home, and Isi can't wait to give back to the group as music director this year. Catch her harmonizing and acabopping her way through the semester! Class of 2021

Hometown: Wellesley, MA Voice Part: Alto Semester Joined SA: Fall 2015 Major: Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Anthropology Chila Haber is a spunky aquarius and amateur dog photographer. She is from Wellesley, Massachusetts and joined SA in Fall 2015 as an alto. Chila completely embodies every stereotype of a younger sibling: attention hogging, loud, and energetic. If it gives you any idea of her character, when she was younger her nickname was “Chila Booty.” She is studying Women and Gender Studies and Anthropology and is currently trying to start a gardening hobby, but killing all her succulents in the process. PM her if you want cute pics of your dog! Class of 2019
Hometown: Wellesley, MA Voice Part: Tenor Semester Joined SA: Spring 2016 Major: American Studies Michael Harlow is an American Studies major with a beautiful mind and heart. He is an extremely talented musician, playing 8 instruments but loves to focus mostly on guitar and drums. He loved singing blues and singer/songwriter music and one of his favorite songs will always be "Free Fallin" by Tom Petty. A fantastic friend known to all on campus, any event featuring Michael is bound to be a hit. His favorite hobbies include ultimate frisbee, writing music, community organizing and the timeless video game classic fire emblem. Class of 2019
Hometown: Stamford, CT Voice Part: Bass Semester Joined SA: Fall 2015 Major: Biology Yoni Israel is a fun, "nebby," Christian rock loving Bass who loves to spend his spare time in the mountains contemplating life's meaning. When not singing or beatboxing you can can find him playing ultimate frisbee or studying for some science class. All Yoni wants in life is some good music and a competitive sports game (anything but hockey). This Business Manager is getting down to business this year with some great upcoming events. Stay tuned! Class of 2020
Hometown: East Hanover, NJ Voice Part: Mezzo Soprano Semester Joined SA: Fall 2016 Major: Computer Science and Linguistics Briana Li is so ecstatic to be a part of SA for her second year at Brandeis! She has been classically trained in piano starting at the age of five but since then has devoted her focus towards learning the acoustic guitar. When she's not singing with SA, you can find her working at the 3D Printing MakerLab, coding in the Lib or hanging out with her friends. She has a soft spot for primarily RnB, Soul, and Lo-Fi music and is always down to see a show. She is also the face behind SA's social media presence as PR Chair for this year. Class of 2021
Hometown: Newton, MA Voice Part: Tenor Semester Joined SA: Fall 2017 Major: Undecided Noah McNerney is a slightly but charmingly bashful freshman at Brandeis and is super excited to join Starving Artists! When Noah isn’t singing or humming to his heart’s content, he enjoys French animation, hiking, listening to sick blues and folk guitarists, and getting a good rally going in tennis. Noah’s childhood dream job was to become a wood worker... Go figure. Class of 2019
Hometown: Texas Voice Part: Soprano Semester Joined SA: Fall 2015 Major: Erika is just a fun loving gal hailing from the Lone Star State. When she isn't laughing by herself at a joke she told in her head, she's not studying either. Let's be real. She joined SA as a freshman soprano and has never looked back. Class of 2019
Hometown: Scarsdale, New York Voice Part: Tenor Semester Joined SA: Fall 2015 Major: Politics Brian is that guy who is always down to jam. When he isn't singing, which is almost never, he is either listening to music or playing guitar. On weekends you can find him on the baseball diamond, probably still humming a tune. Class of 2018
Hometown: Roslyn, New York Voice Part: Bass Semester Joined SA: Fall 2014 Major: Biology Ben is weird. Every group has to have one. In his spare time he likes looking at memes while silently chuckling to himself in satisfaction, getting emotionally distraught over the New York Mets, and obsessing over Billy Joel and Avi Kaplan. He loves classic rock, The Great Comet, newer funk/soul music, and just about anything else that makes him look like a musical snob. Ben is currently enjoying his retirement from music director. He is spending the extra time being the quirky, friendly, overly sentimental, and [hopefully] lovable oddball senior that he was destined to be. Class of 2019
Hometown: Sudsbury, MA Voice Part: Alto Semester Joined SA: Fall 2016 Major: Education Studies and Elementary Teaching Hannah is a junior at Brandeis, and is excited to have another fantastic year with Starving Artists! If she isn’t rehearsing for SA or hanging out with other SA members in her free time, she’s most likely writing a third grade lesson plan about fractions or trying to figure out a way to work music into elementary history curriculum. She is wicked excited to contribute to some big plans for SA this year! |
