Join us as we kick off UMS’s Digital Artist Residencies, hearing directly from the artists who will be working with us this season to create unique content specifically for UMS audiences. UMS digital residencies will feature a range of activities, which will include unique performance and participatory experiences made specifically for the digital frame, plus casual artist interactions with our audiences. You’ll also have a rare chance to discover behind-the-scenes creative development as it unfolds into a finished project. At these kick-off events, meet each artist and learn about the focus of each of their residencies, how they are responding creatively to current events, and how that translates into creating art that can live in both the digital and live performances spaces.

Wednesday’s event features conversations with Joyce DiDonato, Brian Lobel and Allyson Devenish, and Tarek Yamani and the Spektral Quartet. Watch live on YouTube or on Facebook Live.
