Over the past week, composer Dennehy and soprano Upshaw have mentored these young composers and singers from the first tentative steps toward creating a new work through to this exciting premiere-performance concert. It’s the culmination of a Weill Music Institute Professional Training Workshop, presented in partnership with The Bard College Conservatory of Music.
