The 2019 Cedar Commissions artists have each received $4,500 to create over 30 minutes of new music, drawing from their lives and experiences to create bold new works. Over the course of six months, they have been composing, exploring new ideas, and assembling musicians to bring their work to fruition on February 1st and 2nd. On night one, the artists Tarek Abdelqader, Antoine Martinneau, and Brianna Lane will perform their work.
Musical artists Tarek Abdelqader, Antoine Martinneau, and Brianna Lane all have put their personal relationships on the backburner to focus on their artistic goals.
