The Hearing in Color Young Composer Residency, presented in partnership with La Caccina, nurtures emerging voices whose perspectives are shaping the future of choral music. This residency offers young composers the opportunity to workshop and premiere new works written for La Caccina, Chicago’s premier treble vocal ensemble, while receiving mentorship, community support, and professional development. A central feature of the residency is the Young Composers Forum, a space for dialogue where composers share their creative process, engage with audiences, and reflect on their artistic growth.Together, Hearing in Color and La Caccina create a platform where new music flourishes, amplifying diverse voices and stories through bold, innovative choral artistry.
