Composer

The first guest composer of the 2026 edition of Longy’s Divergent Studio is Grammy Award winning composer/performer Eve Beglarian. The Los Angeles Times calls her a “humane, idealistic rebel and a musical sensualist” while the Academy of Arts and Letters awarded her for “a spectacular body of work that innovates and takes enormous risks.” Tonight, our students and faculty perform works from this truly spectacular body of work, largely drawn from the River Project, a 2009 ‘human powered’ trip the composer took down the Mississippi, musically documenting the people she met, the places she visited, and the sounds that she heard.

Divergent Portraits: Eve Beglarian

Edward M. Pickman Concert Hall

Besties launches Queer Urban Orchestra's 2023-2024 season, Chosen Family. Two scintillating overtures celebrate the longtime romantic relationship and even longer friendship between two of America’s most important composers: Samuel Barber and Gian Carlo Menotti. "Luminous, expressive" (New York Times) soprano Ariadne Greif joins the orchestra to present works by great friends Alma Mahler and Alexander von Zemlinsky along with works by three of her best buddies: Jessie Montgomery, Eve Beglarian, and Alex Temple. With each movement embodying the spirit of one of the composer's dear friends, Edward Elgar’s sweeping Enigma Variations anchors the program. Plus, Youth Pride Chorus sings in the full version of the theme song to The Golden Girls!
