RYAN WISNIEWSKI

Ryan Wisniewski has been playing piano his entire life. Primarily focused on classical music, his repertoire ranges from Buxtehude and Bach to Scriabin and Rachmaninoff, with much in between.

Most recently, his performance of Prokofiev’s Suggestion Diabolique won the Gold Medal at the AADGT International Young Musicians Festival, with a winner’s concert this April held at Carnegie Hall.

Other recognition includes 1st Prize at the Global Musical Bridges (GMB) International Youth Piano Competition 2019 and 1st Prize at the Satori Piano Competition Prodigy-Level 2021.

With an undoubted influence from a strong Polish background, his performances of Chopin have received critical acclaim. Adam Gyorgy and Steven Spooner have described his Barcarolle as “well planned and greatly executed [with] ‘perfect’ moments! …This is very rare”.

His interpretations have also won 1st place in the SYMF Chopin Category in 2010 and 2021. Outside the Romantic era, he also performed in the pit band of musicals, being a part of the few musicians, hand-picked and invited. Legally Blonde, A Chorus Line, and The Addams Family were all well received.

Ryan also plays organ and can be heard playing at the USC Caruso Center in weekly masses. “I love the range and power held in each stop and note. Elevating polyphony to the next level, having to add the feet is a unique and tiring challenge yet sometimes I cannot remove myself from the bench.”

Currently, he minors in musical studies in piano at the University of Southern California, given the opportunity to study under notable figures such as Thomas Ladd, Lucinda Carver, Alan Smith, and Stephen Pierce. 

None of this could have been possible without his teacher’s incredible and unmatched dedication and love of music, Margarita Markosyan.

Growing up in an environment of mental, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of multiple family members led Carrie Sauls down a long road of treacherous health challenges, addictions and victimization. These challenges provided a resonance of living to serve and to give others what I felt the world needed most; love and healing.

This is ultimately why she chose to become a Nurse. During this time in her life that was based upon what she had endured as a child and up through adulthood, Carrie had adopted the “we live what we learn” motto. 

Her experiences as a child taught her that forgiveness was key; as she learned what was on the opposite side from her family. Darkness taught her what suffering was, but as time went on and she continued to grow and evolve as a person, she was fortunate to learn, with compassion, that her family was repeating patterns that each member was living over and over again -- a programmed abuse cycle. 

In her early 20’s she learned that three things occur from dysfunction and abuse: 1. we live as a victim, 2. we become the perpetrator (repeating what was done to us), or 3. we rise above it.  Statistics show only .3% of victims of abuse do this. But she also discovered that if she did not like something she could change it at any time, which is what she endeavored to do. She raised her daughter as a single mother the first half of her life with the intention for her to have a very different experience and that all those abuse patterns Carrie had lived as a child would end with her.

Carrie now lives her message and her mission to assist others to heal from, and to end the cycles of abuse from the inside-out. She is a holistic conscious living master practitioner,  utilizing energy solutions for health. She's a medical intuitive, empath, life coach and pranic healer.  Carrie left the nursing profession because she saw that there were potent and profound alternative healing methods yet to be adopted by the mainstream, which would further her ability to make a real difference in the lives of her clients.

It was February of 1974 when a completely unknown young gymnast, Kirk Mango, made a choice that would change the direction of his life and send him on an intense journey of self-discovery and accomplishment. His efforts would culminate in a State Championship, a high school All-American award and a full scholarship to compete in gymnastics at the NCAA Division I level for Northern Illinois University. What was most surprising and unbelievable about this was not only the achievement itself, but the fact that he did it in just one year-something nobody thought possible. For Kirk, it was the starting point of a career that has brought him numerous other awards and honors, first as an athlete, then as a coach and teacher.

In 2000, he was selected to the Northern Illinois Athletic Hall of Fame; there, his photograph hangs on the wall with some of the most prestigious athletes ever to attend and compete for Northern Illinois University. His most recent accolades include being chosen in 2009 as No. 8 of the Top 50 Athletes of All Time competing for NIU, induction into Willowbrook High School’s Inaugural Hall of Fame (with professional athlete greats, former Chicago Bears Tom Hicks, Cleveland Browns Matt Roth, former Philadelphia Phillies World Series pitcher Dan Schatzeder, and Milwaukee Brewers Jody Gerut), and induction into Northern Illinois Athletic Hall of Fame for a second time in October of 2010.

Kirk graduated NIU in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science in education and in 1992 received his Master of Administration from Roosevelt University in Chicago. Now retired, he taught high school students for 34 years and coached student-athletes for 17 of those years.
