Hilda Paredes: Artist-in-Residence Munich (AIR-M)

We are excited to hear that UYMP house composer Hilda Paredes has taken up a three month artistic residency (January to March) at Villa Waldberta in Feldafing, Munich; this was the result of her work "Harriet" (Scenes in the life of Harriet Tubman) winning the Music Theatre Now prize in 2021.

The Villa Waldberta program has been running since 1982, with guests from the arts, culture, and sciences. As part of this residency, Paredes will be giving an informal talk on the opera on Saturday the 21st of January at Meta Theatre (7pm) including insights into her compositional work. On Thursday the 30th of March, there will a concert including Paredes' music at the Akademie der Kunst in Munich. We look forward to hearing more about what events this residency will entail!
