Composer in Residence Program
Amity Trio is excited to announce a new endeavor and collaboration: Amity Trio’s Composer in Residence.
The goal for our Composer in Residence program is to build relationships with the composers we collaborate with, working to create more music for our ensemble and share this music with more communities. We are excited to introduce our first composer in residence, Nur Slim!
We have been working with Nur for about a year now, after commissioning her to write the bilingual children’s opera, Lucrecia y el canto de los dudasaurios and a piece for our debut album. As part of this collaboration, she will be writing a new work for our trio for our “Border Crossings” album and creating a multimedia project.
