Join us in celebration of the winners of this year’s Hildegard Commission, National Sawdust’s mentorship initiative that highlights outstanding women and other marginalized genders in the early stages of their careers. Five commissioned composers—DM R, Andrea Guterres, Hannah Ishizaki, Yaz Lancaster, and Kelley Sheehan—will present world premieres inspired by the poetry of the Greek poet Cavafy. These sound art-focused pieces will be performed by the National Sawdust Ensemble led by cellist Jeffrey Zeigler. After the concert, the pieces will be placed in a yet-to-be-announced, site-specific installation in collaboration with the Onassis Foundation.
