The New York composer-performer collective Wet Ink Ensemble presents new work from their Artists-In-Residence program, premiering compositions by Gelsey Bell (voice/daxophone) and Carolyn Chen (keyboards) alongside the premieres of revised versions of works by Wet Ink members Mariel Roberts and Modney. Wet Ink’s Artist-In-Residence (AIR) program provides an open platform for composer-performers who are invited to create new work for/with Wet Ink, perform with the ensemble, present their own solo projects and bands, and work with Wet Ink’s open, collaborative model however they find meaningful. Past participants in the AIR program have included Ingrid Laubrock, Vicente Atria, Rick Burkhardt, Katherine Young, Nick Dunston, and Charmaine Lee.
