In 2019 a residency program for artists was begun with generous funding from the Cook Foundation. The program brings into our community interesting ideas from afar, with the artists working in any creative format. The program’s director identifies artists to be invited to apply for a residency of several weeks.

Coming soon…

March : The Bergamot Quartet

Bergamot Quartet, l to r: **Ledah Finck**, **Sarah Thomas**, **Irène Han**, **Amy Huimei Tan**

“We work primarily with living composers, with a priority given to music by women, and aim to place this new, genre-bending music in meaningful dialogue with the histories that precede it. We aim to create an increasingly flexible definition of performance that is sensitive to the fabric of our global community. Bergamot comes the name of a plant as a homage to the spirit of growth that we strive to embody. The name serves as a constant reminder of the inspiration that we draw from the natural world and the care and respect it necessitates.”
