June of 2025
Tagney Jones Hall at the Opera Center, Seattle WA
It's been a busy start to fall, and things in my life will only get busier from here. But I finally have a breather to say: I've been accepted as a composer for the Jane Lang Davis Creation Lab at Seattle Opera!
The Creation Lab is an exciting opportunity for Pacific Northwest writers and music makers of all genres to create new stories for the opera medium. I'll be working with a librettist from this year's cohort to create an original 20-minute opera. Over the next several months, we'll be writing and workshopping our piece, then we'll be putting it in the hands of singers and musicians in a public concert this next summer. All along the way, we'll receive the support of professional opera composers, librettists, and maestros to bring these pieces to life.
I am incredibly grateful to have been welcomed into this program. I'll be venturing into new territory over the next several months. But I'm excited to see where this road takes me and all the pleasant surprises along the way, especially knowing I'll be in collaboration with some talented people every step of the way!
Keep your eyes open when June rolls around. Final performances of everyone's operas will be open to the public, and I hope to see you all there! Outside of the Creation Lab, I'll have more updates on my creative endeavors that I'll be excited to share ;)
