The inaugural GLISS Composition Residency, a new summer program for transfeminine composers led by Sarah Hennies, visiting assistant professor of music at Bard College, and composers inti figgis-vizueta and Andrew Yee, will take place at Bard in August 2025. The GLISS residency, open to three transfeminine composers aged 18–30, will provide support through a series of lessons, workshops, masterclasses, recordings, barbecues, and hangouts in a transwoman-only space. The program will culminate in each participating composer writing a piece for cello and percussion to be performed and recorded by Hennies and Yee. The program aims to build and strengthen the community of transfeminine composers and support participants in a lasting way that extends beyond the residency.
