For pianist, composer and Guggenheim fellow Myra Melford, the personal and the poetic have always been intimately connected. Raised outside Chicago in a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Melford grew up literally surrounded by art, seeing early on that aesthetic expression could both be built from and be a structure for profound emotions. Her work draws inspiration from a vast spectrum of cultural and spiritual traditions and artistic disciplines. Recent projects include the multimedia Language of Dreams for her ensemble Snowy Egret; a duo with clarinetist Ben Goldberg; and Trio M with bassist Mark Dresser and drummer Matt Wilson.
