Reisler will use the 8-week residency at the colony to finish work, as he says, “writing a fulllength piece for orchestra and narrator. ..it’s almost done.”
He will spend at least two of the weeks in close collaboration with song-writing friends, and more of the period working on a musical made up of Kid Pan Alley song.
Reisler works with classrooms at all levels, but says he prefers those from 2nd to 6th grades. “Kids,” he said, “are great, uninhibited song writers.”
The VCCA has been a wellspring of music, literature and the visual arts in the United States, providing residencies for artists from all disciplines during the most important and the least supported phase of their work: the creative phase. Anonprofit organization founded in 1971, the VCCA is supported in large part by grants and private donations. More information is available online at www.vcca. com or by calling 434-946-7236.
