Jill Senter has been surrounded by show business all her life: her late uncle, David Kapralik, was a record exec who was instrumental in signing Sly and the Family Stone and Barbra Streisand to their first record deals. Her mother was a vaudevillian and singer who became a psychologist, and Jill's son is a gifted composer. Jill was a competitive tennis player and equestrian who became a successful actress, working in commercials, theater, television and films. Songwriting has always been a strong part of her career. Her song, “Celebrate the Moment,” was a top 10 hit in Australia, and “Stronger Than Yesterday,” a song motivated by overcoming obstacles, rose to #33 on the Billboard Dance Club song chart. Jill has long drawn inspiration from personal challenges. As a result, she has been called the “Marianne Williamson of cabaret.“ She is about to release a new album and a new single.
Jill has presented several shows in NYC under her La Soirée banner.
Lyle Smith Mitchell is a native of Los Angeles, California. Theater Pizzazz stated Lyle “takes stunning risks and turns them into brilliant performances.” Most recently, Lyle performed a recital that slated Poulenc's cycle Calligrammes, and Vaughan-Williams' cycles House of Life, and Five Mystical Songs.
