Musician Bryce Dessner ’98 MUS ’99, a member of the American rock band The National, has a long and renowned resume as a composer, classical guitarist and curator — and now he can add a residency at the Schwarzman Center to the list.
Named as the Schwarzman Center’s first artist-in-residence in June, Dessner will collaborate with different artists, engage in public performances and participate in workshops with the Yale community. Dessner will work with artists Julia Bullock, Ash Fure, Nathalie Joachim and Kaneza Schaal, who work across media including voice, instruments and film. One of his first engagements at Yale included a college tea at Grace Hopper College on Nov. 4.
