“It is truly an honor to be one of the recipients for the 2020 St. Botolph Foundation Emerging Artist Grants. As an artist, it is my passion to represent the voices of our generation by commissioning and championing their music; through this, I hope to push boundaries and be at the forefront of music-making. With this award, I have been able to commission and document a beautiful new piece by a Boston-based composer.
It is amazing to have my dream supported, but especially meaningful this year during the Covid-19 global pandemic. It has meant absolutely everything to me to be encouraged to carry on, to be inspired to keep dreaming and creating. I am so deeply grateful to the St. Botolph Foundation for their generosity and for their belief in my work.”
