Composer Eve Beglarian will be in residence at the University of Maine from Feb. 20-22, presenting in classes in the School of Performing Arts, and giving a public presentation with some of her long-time collaborators on February 22 at 7:30 p.m.
Her residency is part of the McGillicuddy Humanities Center’s Symposium series this year, on rivers and culture. She will be performing and discussing some of the music written as the result of her 2009 trip kayaking and biking the Mississippi River (the “BRIM project”), along with other musical selections from her award-winning work.
According to the Los Angeles Times, composer and performer Eve Beglarian is a “humane, idealistic rebel and a musical sensualist.” A 2023 winner of the Arts and Letters Award for “a spectacular body of work that innovates and takes enormous risks,” she is also a 2017 winner of the Alpert Award in the Arts for her “prolific, engaging and surprising body of work,” and has been awarded the 2015 Robert Rauschenberg Prize from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts for her “innovation, risk-taking, and experimentation.”
