In both these settings and at soundSCAPE, she has worked on a sustained basis with student composers.

In 2014, she will serve as artist-in-residence at both the University of Indianapolis and the University of California at Davis. Tony Arnold is a graduate of Oberlin College and Northwestern University. Growing up in suburban Baltimore, she composed, sang, and played every instrument she could persuade her parents to let her Ensemble bring home, but never intended to become a professional vocalist. Instead, she applied her broad musical background to the study of orchestral conducting. Following graduate school, she was thrice a fellow of the Aspen Music Festival (twice as a conductor, then again later as a singer), and she enjoyed success as the Concert music director of several orchestras in the Chicago area.

Program Notes and Bios: Make the conquered and beaten pale… and Sonatina “adieu”: Make the conquered and beaten pale… and Sonatina “adieu” although composed in close proximity to one another, were not originally conceived as a pair, however it soon became apparent that of the two pieces one was in search of the other. The former was composed as a response to a quotation from Leonardo da Vinci, while the latter was a reject of a larger piece that was never fully realized. I would like to thank Ji in Yang and Manon Hutton-DeWys for premiering these two works as a pair on this concert. – P. Kramer “Make the conquered and beaten pale, with brows raised and knit, and the skin above their brows furrowed with pain… and the teeth apart as with crying out in lamentation… Make the dead partly or entirely covered with dust… and let the blood be seen by its color flowing in a sinuous stream from the corpse to the dust.
