In-Residence Auditions

An ACMC Special Event

Sponsored by The Fox-Khatami Charitable Trust

Please note that this event is invite only.

The Artist-in-Residence Program is a new program that will provide a contract for a cellist to perform and teach with ACMC. Fifty-four talented cellists applied and we’ve narrowed the pool to three finalists who will be auditioning live at the Draylen Mason Studio on December 14! Each finalist will have a one-hour window to perform, answer questions, and mingle with guests. Complimentary light bites and drinks included. Supporting musicians include Michelle Schumann, Sandy Yamamoto, Daniel Ching, Patrice Calixte, and Aaron Merritt.

Cellist Annie Jacobs-Perkins wants to do more than make art; she wants to turn her life into a piece of art. Annie’s love of interdisciplinary work has led her to collaborate with painters, dancers, potters, cheesemongers, fashion designers, boxers, composers, poets, woodworkers, essayists, knitters, and farmers. She believes that it is the sacred duty of an artist to protect existing beauty, and as such, is a passionate participant in local, sustainable agriculture and boycotter of fast fashion. Music is one of the ways she digs her toes into the earth around her.
