Tea Arts & Culture is a non-profit organization committed to creating connections through tea. We organize community events, educational workshops, and collaborations with artists from various art disciplines, cultures, and generations to hold the space and time needed for conversation, reflection, connection, and collaboration.
Will Ayton was born in 1948 in Jingyuan, Kansu province, China, of missionary parents. He has spent most of his professional years as a professor of music at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, as well as directing and performing with various ensembles (viola da gamba) and stealing as much time as possible for composing.
