The youngest recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Music, composer Caroline Shaw will visit Middlebury College for a two-day residency, including discussions on blurring genre boundaries in music-making and the role of women in music. The New York-based musician — vocalist, violinist, composer and producer — performs in solo and collaborative projects.
Shaw’s first talk, “Composer Caroline Shaw: From Pulitzer to Kanye,” will take place on Tuesday, April 10, at 4:30 p.m., in Axinn Center room 229. A lunch discussion with Shaw— covering the historical role of women in classical music and the work of women today to break through the musical glass ceiling — will take place on Wednesday, April 11, at 12:15 p.m., at Chellis House. 
Her Middlebury visit will culminate in a concert of her original works at Mahaney Center for the Arts’ Robison Hall on Wednesday, April 11, at 8 p.m.
All three residency events are free and open to the public. For more information, visit go.middlebury.edu/carolineshaw.
