Yellow Barn’s Artist Residencies provide the unique opportunity for musicians to develop projects of their own choosing in an environment conducive to undistracted study. All too often for performing musicians such opportunities come to an end once their formal training is complete. In a field where artistic growth continues and deepens with experience and age, Yellow Barn offers a rare haven, fostering focused exploration. Residencies are open to musicians of any age and at any stage of their careers, and are fully subsidized by contributions from individuals and foundations that share Yellow Barn’s mission.
