Kristine Banh is a musician, arts administrator, and educator originally from Sitka, Alaska, who is passionate about making music accessible, meaningful, and fun! She recently earned her master's degree in Arts Leadership and Cultural Management from Colorado State University and loves building community through the arts. As a classical and jazz saxophonist, she appreciates music of all kinds and can often be found attending live performances when she isn't spending time with her two cats. She is excited to support young musicians as they learn, perform, and grow.

Tori Seaver (she/her) joined GBYO as the Marketing & Events Coordinator in 2024.

Tori’s passion for music was fostered from a young age when she started playing piano at five years old and briefly took violin lessons before later learning oboe at the recommendation of her middle school music teacher. She quickly fell in love with the challenge of the instrument and was a member of the Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestra from 2013-2015, and toured with WYSO throughout Argentina in Summer 2014.

Tori earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music with a certificate in International Studies and minors in Spanish and Anthropology from the University of Tulsa. She was later accepted to the Master of Arts-Business: Arts and Creative Enterprise Leadership program at the University of Wisconsin – Madison’s Bolz Center for Arts Administration within the Wisconsin School of Business.

Outside of work, Tori enjoys exploring Colorado with her dog, Wicklow.
