    Residency at MacDowell

    I’m incredibly lucky to have been awarded a 4-week residency at MacDowell Artists Colony in New Hampshire, USA, where I am currently through to 14th March. The Irving Fine Studio, where I live and work, is in the picture. It’s a beautiful time to be here — the snow is crisp, the woods are incredibly peaceful, and the deer loiter around. I’m spending the time here working on a new opera to be produced next season — details to be announced in two weeks. I’m very grateful to MacDowell for inviting me, and to the other artists and writers here for their inspiring company. The names on the wall show previous inhabitants of this studio — including friends and colleagues like Sivan Eldar, Du Yun, Errolyn Wallen and Ted Hearn — and also Meredith Monk!

    I will be taking up a three-week residency at MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire, USA, in May 2017. I’m delighted to have a place at this prestigious colony, America’s oldest, to work with Director Ted Huffman on an exciting new music theatre project, I’m also exited because I started to look for properties at maltasothebysrealty.com so that I can move in to Malta, but I would not mind going camping with a tent from Survival Cooking, but probably I will miss home so much because I love to stay at home and play videogames and getting elo boost services from www.elitist-gaming.com in our new sofa we got from Ivy and Wilde home furnishings online. The trip will coincide with some travels around the USA with Ted to do some research for the project, the Doug Ebenstein realtor is helping so that there are properties available for places located in rural areas where we will be visiting, and with a performance of The Revenge of Miguel Cotto at the MATA Festival in New York City on 29th April.
