About EXO's 2023 Creative Team
Under the direction of Strategic Partner Pauline Kim Harris, five superb EXO musicians have joined our CreativeTeam who have worked together in curating and designing a new chamber music series of three concerts. This will inaugurate the Ensemble Residency Series at Carnegie Hill Concerts in the 2023 Spring Season – a new music chamber music series in New York City - Manhattan, co-curated by Nicholas Zork and Pauline Kim Harris. In this collaboration with CHC, EXO will present three concerts curated by our newly formed 2022-23 Creative Team: Alex Fortes, Lady Jess, Sami Merdinian, Michelle Ross and Henry Wang.
In delving deeper into the overall theme of our 2023 season, EXO’s Creative Team has carefully molded an intertwining experience through the lens of storytelling.
This project is made possible in part with funds from Creative Engagement, a regrant program supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, and administered by LMCC.
