We’re very excited to report that the Jerome Composers Commissioning Program has just awarded a grant to Darcy James Argue to write a new large-scale work for us for next season. It’s to be called The Sleep Room and will be about the very creepy, CIA-funded MK-ULTRA experiments that took place at McGill University in the 1960s. We’re planning to premiere it in early 2011, and are very excited about the whole project!
For those who don’t know Darcy’s work, definitely check out his recent, much-lauded record on New Amsterdam.
