    Carolina Shaw

    Shaw started playing violin for dance classes. There, instead of following a score, she had to learn to respond to the
    needs of artists right in front of her, which she loved. "That act of making music for people immediately, in the
    room, isn't just theoretical," she says. "I'm not by myself, trying to top-down design something that's important.
    What do they need right now?"
    She auditioned for Roomful of Teeth

    Partita for 8 Voices


    Collaborations with Sō Percussion

    "...seek intimate, amorphous musical


    experiences where composing and
    performing overlap, and where the
    boundaries of classical blur beyond
    recognition." Other Song To the Sky
