Work-in-Progress: Shara Nova
In the week before quarantine, I was working on a chamber music commission for Grand Valley State University inspired by the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The piece was to be played by the ensemble as they tour our National Parks this summer. We don't yet know if these concerts will be possible.
In response to social isolation guidelines, Kresge Arts in Detroit asked Kresge Artist Fellows and Gilda Award recipients to give us a glimpse into their current and recent projects. Participating artists received stipends of $150, a quick response pivot of resources that could be implemented by the program as an immediate - albeit small level - of support to Detroit area artists.
