Dale Trumbore will be in residence from April thru April 23. Her compositions have been performed widely in the U.S. and internationally by the Kronos Quartet, ACME, and the USC Thornton Symphony. She has received awards from Chanticleer, Center City Opera Theater, Lyrica Chamber Music, the Society for Universal Sacred Music, and the National Federation of Music Clubs, and has been commissioned by the American Choral Directors Association, the Esoterics, and WomenSing, among others. Her dual interest in language and music leads her to collaborate frequently with contemporary poets, and her works for voice have been recorded by the New York Virtuoso Singers (Toward Lasting Peace), Six Degree Singers (Six Degrees of Composers), and soprano Gillian Hollis (Snow White Turns Sixty). Her choral work, The Whole Sea In Motion, is published in G. Schirmer's Dale Warland Choral Series. A New Jersey native and current resident of Los Angeles, she is a graduate of the University of Southern California.
