2025 Pocantico Residency; work-in-progress showing
This residency represents a collaboration between Composers Now, the Asian Cultural Council, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, which generously sponsors this program. Over a two-week period in November, selected composer, Younje Cho will collaborate with an artist selected by the Asian Cultural Council—in this case, filmmaker Renu Savan—to develop a new, interdisciplinary project.
The duo will present excerpts from the work they created during their two-week Pocantico residency and discuss their individual styles and process of creative partnership.
