​

We are excited to announce that this year's Fellows are Dylan Trần who will work with The CYO and, Xenia St Charles Iris Llyllyth who will work with pianist Clare Longendyke.​

​

Composer Fellows receive: 

• A $1000 commission to write a new piece to be premiered by The CYO Principals Quartet or Clare Longendyke

• Workshops with the performing ensemble/soloist

• Mentorship throughout the writing process with Kinds of Kings

• A premiere of the commissioned work

​

The Kinds of Kings Bouman Fellowship is an advocacy, access, and amplification program for composers with historically-marginalized identities in the early stages of their composing careers. Named after computer scientist Dr Katie Bouman, whose team gave the world the first image of a black hole, the Bouman Fellowship program's goals are:

​​

• to support and advocate for early-career composers 

• to create opportunities for composers from historically marginalized groups, and

• to cultivate a sense of community and support.
