My partner Kirsten Volness and I were recently awarded a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts to put on a small new music festival in Providence. The festival is called Verdant Vibes, and will include a call for scores/new music from RI-based artists. We will have a launch party/concert with the Verdant Vibes Ensemble and friends (including Blevin Blectum and JPA Falzone) at Aurora in early December, and a concert of selected works from the call for scores in Spring 2016 at the South Side Cultural Center in Providence. More details soon!
Tenderloin Opera Company has been selected to present at the 2016 New Music Gathering in Baltimore. We will discuss how our program creates theatre and music, how it presents the stories of homelessness in RI, and how it interacts with the homeless community and other outreach organizations. We hope to be able to bring as many members to the event and will run a fundraising campaign this Fall and Winter to help fund the modest travel expenses. More details soon!
