Carolyn Chen has made music for supermarket, demolition district, and the dark. Recent projects include a story for ASL interpreter strung to chimes at a distance and a commission for Klangforum Wien. Her work has been presented in 22 countries and described by The New York Times as “the evening’s most consistently alluring … a quiet but lush meditation.” For a decade she has studied the guqin, the Chinese 7-string zither traditionally played for private meditation in nature. She studied in China on a Fulbright in 2012, and has played at The Kitchen in New York, Salurinn in Kópavogur, Iceland, on Beijing sidewalks, and atop the Great Wall. www.carolyn-chen.com
