The Composers Now & Asian Cultural Council Creative Residency program at The Pocantico Center pairs distinguished composers with artists from a wide range of disciplines to develop performance pieces that engage both the eyes and ears. Each duo will present excerpts from the work they created during their residencies at Pocantico and discuss their individual styles and process of creative partnership. The event will be followed by a reception with special access to the DR Center gallery, currently showing Inspired Encounters: Women Artists and the Legacies of Modern Art.

This event is presented with Composers Now, the Asian Cultural Council, and the RBF Culpeper Arts & Culture program.

Tickets to all Pocantico events must be obtained in advance on our website. To prevent the spread of Covid-19, we strongly recommend that masks are worn in all indoor spaces at The Pocantico Center.
