Matt Sargent, assistant professor of music at Bard, has been selected to be a resident artist at the Avaloch Farm Music Institute (AFMI) in New Hampshire this summer. AFMI is a residential arts center designed to serve as a catalyst for unfettered artistic exploration, creation, and performance by providing an environment to inspire and empower musicians of all skill levels to develop meaningful artistic content and collaborations to share with the wider world. While in residence, Sargent will be working with Trevor Babb, professor of guitar at Vassar College, on a new recording of Larry Polansky's “51 Melodies” and Anthony Braxton's “Composition No. 193,” both of which are major contemporary works for a guitar duo, for an upcoming commercial release.
