The Sunnyvale Youth Philharmonic Orchestra has invited me to be the artist-in-residence and collaborator for the SYP Art + Music Program during the 2025–26 season. This autumn, I led a workshop titled Unlearning Carmen, inviting members of the South Bay community to engage with Georges Bizet’s Carmen libretto text as raw material — to extract, fragment, and recompose its language into new constellations of meaning. It is a great joy to work with young musicians and the community. Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming workshops and events with SYP! sign up here to join my mailing list .
