I am very excited that I have been selected as one of a 15 invited musicians, composers and performers from around the globe coming together in a unique collaborative music making residency program. It was a competitive process to get in, and a great honor. Music Omi encourages its participants to share ideas, perform each other's works, and write music for one another, while exploring their own musical vision and broadening their artistic and cultural horizons. A singular feature of the Music Omi experience is the presentation of public performances during and at the conclusion of the residency.
