Congratulations to the talented Karl Blench! Karl won second place in the 2024 Charles Ives Award in Chamber Music in the American Prize in Composition—vocal chamber music (professional division), for his composition of my libretto Open Source.
I'm thrilled that I am among 25 artists accepted into the 2024 Beth Morrison Projects Producer Academy. The Producer Academy is an 8-week boot camp that runs from mid-September to mid-November, and is designed for aspiring producers to hone their skills, whether it's producing their own work, or others. Collaboration, networking, and work development! So exciting!!!
The Producer Academy is tuition free thanks to support from the Mellon Foundation.
It's still in the development phase. I'll just say it's historical fiction and involves time travel.
My first libretto, Open Source (a theology built on the voices of many). is written for string quartet and bass-baritone, and was brought to life by composer Karl Blench, performed by Houston’s Axiom Quartet, and sung by Timothy Jones. It premiered in 2023, at the First Congregational Church of Houston, and received additional funding for a repeat performance in 2024, at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, Houston.
Spending a month in a converted farm in Amherst, VA, in conversation with a variety of artists, was crucial to understanding myself as a composer.
Keep up with all things Frontier Jazz.
