Artist Faculty member Manuel Laufer and his duo partner, soprano Dory Hayley, have received a $25,000 “Explore and Create” grant from the Canada Council for the Arts to commission a new work from Annette Brosin and record it along with works written for them by Diógenes Rivas, Camilo Méndez, Roberto Azaretto, and Anthony Tan. The project, entitled “Feelinglessness: New Works for Soprano and Piano," features experimental works with non-semantic texts.
