Derrick Wang has been selected as a Resident Artist for American Lyric Theater’s 2008-2009 Composer/Librettist Development Program (CLDP), the nation’s only operatic young artist program dedicated to writers.
Residencies were offered to eight artists in the U.S. for the 2008-2009 season. Of the eight artists, two (of which Wang is one) will be writing both music and text for their residency.
At the end of the residency, selected artists will be invited to have full-length works developed by American Lyric Theater.
The 2008-2009 CLDP is led by Lawrence Edelson (Producing Artistic Director, American Lyric Theater), Mark Adamo (composer-librettist of Little Women and Lysistrata), and Cori Ellison (Dramaturg and Director of Supertitles, New York City Opera).
