Andrea Mazzariello, Assistant Professor of Music, is the recipient of a Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council (SEMAC) Artistic Support for Individuals grant for his project Music for Bridging. This work begins with the creation of original song-poems that get spun into structures that might be improvised upon or otherwise engaged by musicians from a wide range of traditions in innovative ways, and upon which visual elements will be built. SEMAC’s funding will support the participation of Northfield musicians JC Sanford and Brady Lenzen in the improvisation, collaboration, and recording processes.
