This past May, Rosemary Engelstad was an artist-in-residence at the Avaloch Farm Music Institute in Boscawen, NH. During her residency, she collaborated with Slippery Rock clarinet professor, Amanda Morrison, on their new project, the Grant Avenue EFX Clarinet Duo. For their residence, the duo commissioned a new work for amplified clarinet duo and guitar pedals entitled Haptic by 亚色影库 alum, Joshua Snively (BFA - Music Performance, 2019). During their residency, they prepared a program of works for EFX solo duo that they will perform this coming fall in various Pittsburgh, Johnstown, and Indiana venues.
