On Feb 17, 2024 I presented Malosma / 18 Flowers in a Row at Brooklyn’s ISSUE Project Room, as part of my 2024 Artist-in-Residency. It was a huge AH-HA moment for me, and I can’t wait to write about it, think about it, make more music and art, and really relish in this opportunity. Malosma was composed collaboratively with flutist Christine Tavolacci, and 18 Flowers in a Row was composed by me and realized fantastically by Judith Berkson on accordion/voice, Christine Tavolacci on flute, and Laura Cetilia on cello. We also spent a day in Boerum Hall recording new works composed by each of us for our Quartet MOONS. More info here: https://issueprojectroom.org/event/sold-out-katie-porter-malosma-18-flowers-row
