Four-time GRAMMY® Award-winning contemporary music sextet Eighth Blackbird is, according to The Chicago Tribune, “one of the smartest, most dynamic ensembles on the planet.” The Music program at Bennington College is thrilled to welcome Eighth Blackbird for an exciting multi-day residency that will include events open to public attendance and privately mentorship to our students. With a legacy of groundbreaking premieres and a passion for living composers, Eighth Blackbird’s residency will culminate with their Carriage Barn Series debut, an electrifying concert of new music you won’t want to miss.
