The MacDowell Colony awards Fellowships to artists of exceptional talent, providing time, space and an inspiring environment in which to do creative work. The Colony is one of the most prestigious in the United States and was founded in 1907 by composer Edward MacDowell and pianist Marian Nevins MacDowell, his wife. Past fellows include Aaron Copland and Leonard Bernstein among many other great artists in all disciplines. During his residency at the Colony in May of 2011, Edward used his time to compose Improvisational Episodes, for Piano and String Orchestra. This is the first of a series of works for string that Simon will be creating as a result of his Guggenheim Fellowship. |
