Since 2009, this annual residency program has given composers suitable creative space in a NYC cultural facility.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: ETM HAS CEASED OPERATIONS AS OF JUNE 30, 2020.
Two residency programs have emerged from our 2014 Queens Workspace Initiative. The first, in Jamaica, Queens, is for choreographer-composer teams. The second, in the Ridgewood Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn/Queens, was for composers only and ran from 2016-2018.
