Program Note
Complicity was created as a collaboration between Brittany Cavallaro (poet), Laura Osgood-Brown (soprano), and myself. The three of us co-taught a collaborative course in 2018–2019 at the Interlochen Arts Academy. Over the course of that year, we worked with students on creating text, setting it to music all the while working with performers. When the project was launched, we decided to model the collaborative process for our students and enjoy the opportunity to work together ourselves. This work is the result.
