What’s expected from a composer in residence

What’s expected from a composer in residence

Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival 2024 has engaged Lithuanian performance-based artist Lina Lapelytė as Composer in Residence.

Her duties?

Born in Kaunas, Lapelytė is known for a performance-based practice rooted in music, flirting with pop culture, gender stereotypes and nostalgia. Her works engage trained and untrained performers, often in an act of singing through a wide range of genres such as mainstream music and opera. Singing takes the form of a collective and affective event, questioning vulnerability and acts of silencing.
