Hear sounds of Zadar’s Sea Organ through the lens of clarinet in Michelle Hromin‘s WIP performance on Friday 12 June. As part of a new project funded by Arts Council England’s Developing Your Creative Practice fund, Michelle will be testing out materials for a new work for clarinet, guitar pedal and field recordings based on the sea organ and her relationship to her homeland.
Michelle Hromin is a Croatian-American multidisciplinary artist, specializing in contemporary clarinet performance, writing, and curation. She uses mediums such as spoken word, electronics, and improvisation in her artistic practice to explore her identity, heritage, and human relationships.
An advocate for new music, Michelle has commissioned and performed dozens of new works, including as a 2022 Fellow with Bang on a Can and 2023 eighth blackbird Creative Lab Fellow. Her 2021 performance project Kalendar: 12 Miniatures for 2021 brought awareness to her Croatian heritage through improv-based clarinet works informed by the months of the Slavic calendar. The two-volume EP was self-released on Bandcamp.
